movie about corruption

[Eija Margit Niskanen]

The movie was Jubaku/Spellbound, directed by Harada Masato, released in
1999, and still showing in Tokyo theaters. About PR material and number of
spectators, how about checking with Kadokawa Shoten? Fax 03-3238 8612. 

I seem to remember that Aaron Gerow had a review of the movie in Daily
Yomiuri. Am I right?
