Ten Women in Black

Busy TV executive Kaze (Eiji Funakoshi) didn't understand himself why he was such catnip to women, or where he got time to juggle all of his liaisons. The status quo, though, had worn thin on his too-patient wife Futaba (Fujiko Yamamoto) and nine of his notes-comparing dalliances-to the point where they conspired to knock him off! Kon Ichikawa's pitch-dark farce also stars Mariko Miyagi, Keiko Kishi, Tamao Nakamura, Kyoko Kishida, Juzo Itami. AKA: "Ten Dark Women." 103 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English; bonus documentary "The Kon Ichikawa Story" (2006); theatrical trailer. In Japanese with English subtitles.
