DESCRIPTION:Part of the Japan Society's yakuza film series.\n\nWhat if the 
 hardest men in town were\, in fact\, women? While her husband  is in priso
 n doing time\, Tamaki (Shima Iwashita)\, the wife of a yakuza  capo\, is n
 ot wasting her time--she runs her spouse's gang pretty much  like Margaret
  Thatcher ruled the UK\, with an iron fist. Meanwhile\,  Makoto (Rina Kata
 se)\, her voluptuous younger sister\, marries a member of  a rival band af
 ter being raped by him. The two women decide they're mad  and won't take i
 t anymore: the mortality of the male characters is  about to go north. Fol
 lowing the outlines of reportage by Shoko Ieda\,  who spent a year living 
 among 28 wives of gangsters\, <em>Yakuza Wives</em> became a huge hit and 
 the first movie of a long-running classic series  exposing the women who l
 ive in the shadows in a harsh\, bright\, crimson  light.\n\n$12\, $9 for m
 embers\, students and seniors.
