Poky odyssey of self-renewal for a laid-off Tokyo office worker. Well-made but unenthralling, despite the wacky supernatural element of a village vamp who fills up periodically with water and must "vent" it ("It's not like it's urine") by shoplifting or screwing: she leaks, she gushes, she sprays. With Koji Yakusho and Misa Shimizu; directed by Shohei Imamura. (2001) — Duncan Shepherd
