SUBLIME CINEMA #603 - A TAXING WOMAN
Director Juzo Itami’s cause of death is still under dispute - there were rumors that he was murdered by the Yakuza, though nothing was ever confirmed, and nobody was ever charged.
He directed some of Japan’s best comedies, and Nobuko Miyamoto featured in many of them.

SUBLIME CINEMA #593 - SUPERMARKET WOMAN
Itami was the master of irreverent Japanese comedy - Tampopo and Supermarket Woman are two of my favorites. His films are so comforting, funny, strange but warm. His wife, Nobuko Miyamoto, is great in the many of his films he cast her in.
