Originally released as a motion picture in 1987.
880-04 Miyamoto Nobuko, Yamazaki Tsutomu.
Ryoko Itakura is a government tax agent who has just landed a big promotion. Her first assignment is to catch wheeler-dealer Hideki Gondo. She has a tough job, since in Japan tax evasion is an art and Gondo is, in effect, Rembrandt. Her job is complicated by a growing sympathy for the rogue and by political pressure to stop her investigation.
DVD (all region, NTSC format), 4:3 aspect ratio.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
almost 35 years old, society has changed big time since then, but still interesting to watch. submitted by Tassos on November 26, 2021, 2:30pm Watching it as I write. Love the white ROlls Silver Shadow, BTW. The movie is pretty good too. Very enjoyable. Remember this was filmed in 87, 35 years ago, so don't expect to see today's levels of civilization and law obedience in Japan of 1987.
