A female tax investigator, Ryoka Itakura, inspects the accounts of various Japanese companies, uncovering hidden incomes and recovering unpaid taxes. One day she persuades her boss to let her investigate the owner of a string of love hotels who seem to be avoiding tax.
Another great comedy from the mind of Juzo Itami (Tampopo, Minbo), and once again his wife, Nobuko Miyamato, plays the lead role with excellence. It seems that Itami comes up with his films while experiencing everyday problems, he wrote A Taxing Woman when he was to may more tax due to his previous film The Funeral (1984). It may feel a bit long near the end, but that's a minor complaint because it's so entertaining otherwise. I've always felt sorry because of Itami's suicide, if there's anything his movies has shown it's that he was a true master film-maker.
