Wiki.
A Taxing Woman (マルサの女, Marusa no onna) is a 1987 Japanese film written and directed by Juzo Itami. It won numerous awards, including six major Japanese Academy awards. 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.
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.
