Juzo Itami - WOMAN IN WITNESS PROTECTION (1997) - REMASTERED
Marutai no onna - Nominated for 3
Japanese Academy Awards - A comedy laced with some drama and a little grit about
an actress who witnesses a murder and is called upon to testify against the
killer.
Star actress, Biwako, is the sole witness to a grizzly murder. The cops persuade her to play the bait in their scheme to catch the killers. Two veteran detectives are assigned to protect her at all times, and as the film progresses these guardians have no choice but to deal with the overly dramatic, hilarious, and sometimes harrowing ups-and-downs of Biwako's life.
This was the last movie made by director Juzo Itami. His death is rumored to be a foul play by the yakuza because Itami continued to shed lights into the inner workings of the Japanese underworld (as in his ‘Minbo no Onna’, and this movie).

Stars: Nobuko Miyamoto, Masahiko Nishimura and Yuji Murata
1997 – JAPANESE with OPTIONAL ENGLISH SUBTITLES - COLOR – 16:9 ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN - 131 MINUTES
