Hi Graham,
Thanks very much for the post.
I do have the said film on VHS and only last year read about the sad death of Mr Itami.
I also think he was one of the best directors from Tokyo.
I first saw a taxing woman on terestrial tv and it was so well written and used clever photography'I was hooked.

I admire the way the plots of Juzos films have a clever twist and you always feel like you know the stars themselves.

Tampopo is another classic,Simple story and concept but done in such a fantastick way.

I think its such a shame to loose a man that created a capsule of time that was Tokyo in the 1980,s.
I did manage to get the soundtrack to a taxing woman on cd,It is brilliant.

I never new that Nabuko was his wife in real life?
I wonder if the Tampopo stars are still making films these days,Gondo was such a great character.

Thanks for the post,
Really great to hear from you,
Regards,
Ian(UK).
