The Masseurs And A Woman (1938) *****

A cinematic miracle written and directed by Hiroshi Shimizu. Arguably his greatest film, a very subtle narrative rollercoaster that constantly plays with its viewers' expectations. It begins like a comedy, but then slowly becomes a whodunit, before touching on some melodrama in order to finally settle for a touch of romance. One of the least predictable films ever made.
