 Juzo Itami - Films as Director and Scriptwriter:, Films as Actor:
It is probable that Juzo Itami's films convey meanings to Japanese audiences that are not readily accessible to Westerners: they are pervasively concerned with rituals, customs, and practices that go back through centuries, and their interaction with contemporary economic and socio-political actualities.
Itami has not achieved the extraordinary distinction of Buñuel at his best (but neither did Buñuel until he was very old, and then in only a very few films).
Itami's commitment to feminism is also somewhat dubious: one suspects that it is more an incidental offshoot of his desire to work with his extremely talented wife (a brilliant comedienne who commands rapid and subtle shifts of tone) rather than being rooted in any firm theoretical basis.

Director Itami Juzo is well known for tackling rather serious social ills, wrapping them in a narrative populated with interesting characters, and then presenting it back to audiences with hint of humor mixed in.
Director Itami uses this scenario to thoroughly explore the traditional social rationale espoused by doctors and family, and then focuses on the patient's, here Buhei's, own feelings and wishes regarding being told the truth and thereby treated as one having at least a little control over his last days of life.
Itami attempts to demonstrate the validity of these rights in the face of an otherwise near monolithic social tradition which strongly opposes such notions.

Juzo Itami's debut film is more modest, though just as outrageous in some of its scenes (the mistress of the bereaved son-in-law demanding sexual satisfaction in the woods near the site of the wake, for instance).
Itami, unlike Waugh and Richardson, is an insider; he's aware that when it comes to funerals, many contemporary Japanese are caught between their instincts (do it quick and cheap) and their sense of tradition and duty.
Most telling are the scenes in which the grieving daughter and her husband resort to an instructional video for tips on, for example, how to register the right kind of moans at the service.

 Juzo Itami - Arts and Faith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
With the idealized Japanese family seen in Yasujiro Ozu's works clearly in mind, Itami presents the death of a brothel-owning patriarch, his movie-actress daughter, and a corrupt Buddhist priest played by former Ozu heavy Chishu Ryu.
Primarily telling the story of a cowboy-truckdriver's efforts to turn a widow's noodleshop into the best in the East, it intersects this narrative with several other odd characters and storylines to demonstrate the primacy of food (and our oral fixation, I might add) from birth to death.
After reading a synopsis, I couldn't resist buying a copy of Itami's 'Daibyonin.' An excellent film overall, although it relies a bit too heavily on melodramatic convention in the last fourth, dimming the power of the biting commentary in the preceding 3/4.
