The Woman Who Took the Local Paper

Directed by Tokihisa Morikawa

With Keiko Natsu, Kei Yamamoto, Hisashi Igawa, Yukiko Yoshino and Aoi Nakajima

Based on the original mystery novel by Seicho Matsumoto. Novelist Ryuji Sugimoto is publishing his serial in a local newspaper when a woman from Tokyo subscribes, saying she’s interested in his work—only to abruptly cancel weeks later. Suspicious, he realizes her true interest may not be the fiction at all, but a real double suicide reported in the same paper.
