this be one of my favorite of all time . it concern the year long quest of a tenacious japanese revenue service assessor to uncover the misdeed of a crooked businessman . the tax evader find himself increasingly attract to her brain and persistence and even a she get close to blow his cover and get him in hot water with the government . the viewer can also see just where this man be come from and since the tax system in japan be paint a any republican worst nightmare . this have the same director and central cast a the even more wonderful tampopo . the only problem i have with this film be the unbelievably annoy soundtrack while it loud and piercing and doesn not leave my head until several day after i have see the movie .
