About Mibôjin ryokan: Shitagaru waka okami
Masako, a widow, runs the local hot spring inn, Aku no Yu, all by herself. Her niece, Ritsuko, has been helping out at the inn since graduating from junior college in Tokyo. Her husband, Ikuo, died in an accident and was condemned to hell for adultery with Ritsuko, and his ghost roams the earth. One day, Kurio, who had been laid off and decided to commit suicide, arrives at the inn. Surprisingly, he looks exactly like Ikuo...
Directed by Akira Fukamachi, Mibôjin ryokan: Shitagaru waka okami leans on a strong ensemble — Satomi Shinozaki, Tomomi Aizawa, Hiroyuki Kawasaki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1999.
