About The Mysterious Lightning Beauty
A series of mysterious numbers began arriving at the Tamamura family, a family of jewelers. They were terrifying death threats. Kogoro Akechi sets out to investigate, but the culprits strike first and kidnap him, holding him captive. With Akechi in a life-or-death situation, is there any way he can escape the man who calls himself “The Magician”? And why is this magician, possessing the cunning of a devil, targeting the Tamamura family?
Directed by Kazuo Ikehiro, The Mysterious Lightning Beauty leans on a strong ensemble — Kinya Kitaoji, Kyôko Takami, Jiro Sakagami — 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 mystery titles of 1990.
