A Taxing Woman (マルサの女, Marusa no onna)[a] is a 1987 Japanese film written and directed by Juzo Itami.[1] It won numerous awards, including six major Japanese Academy awards.[2] The title character of the film, played by Nobuko Miyamoto, is a tax investigator for the Japanese National Tax Agency who employs various techniques to catch tax evaders.[3]
Itami took inspiration for the movie after entering a higher tax bracket following the success of his first film, The Funeral.
A sequel, A Taxing Woman's Return, featuring some of the same characters but darker in tone, was released in 1988.
