I wasn’t a huge fan of A Taxing Woman. Its funny, I gather its super classic, but I just didn’t like it very much, at least compared to how much I love Tampopo. Have you by chance seen any of the Torasan movies? Hil friggin larious comedy series of movies. Mostly unknown in America I think, but far and away my favorite Japanese comedy. Its kind of like the Borat of Japanese film, since the comedy is all based on social faux pas, and of course a social faux pas says a lot about that society. The Borat comparison is a bit clumsy though, since its not nearly as extreme as Borat of course.
