Film based on a detective novel by famous Japanese writer Seicho Matsumoto. Intriguing plot and very beautiful reconstruction of post-war Japan. Plus three actress - Ryoko Hirose, Miki Nakatani and Tae Kimura - beautiful women and really good play - especially Miki Nakatani as Sachiko.
Story begins when husband of Teiko who had worked for some period in distant city - Kanazawa and should have returned to Tokyo suddenly disappeared.. She decided to go to Kanazawa and find out what happened to him. And then she found how little she knew about him and his past - complicated relationships, new deaths and mysterious woman in red who kills everybody who tries to find out reasons of Teiko`s husband strange disappearance..
Plus: film depicting strong women and their struggling for happiness - good for those who like such sort of "girl power" stories.
