Japanese uber-model Naomi Nishida makes her starring debut in
Shinobu Yaguchi's semi-legendary comedy.
A girl (Nishida) has been abnormally fascinated with money since
childhood -- so much so that she becomes the employee of a
bank. She realizes quickly that it's not as much fun handling
money that you don't own....
And that begins her hilarious odyssey that takes her through
armed robbery, and wins her a geology degree, a swimming
championshiip, a mountain-climbing contest, and injuries along
the way to her pursuit of a suitcase full of cash.
Director Yaguchi employs his usual deadpan humor in a story that
has you rooting for a hero who's often too funny for words. Finally
available on subtitled DVD, there's now no reason to put off your
responsibility to see this delight.
