@SRDas The Funeral was shown in one of my undergraduate Japanese classes and has a lot of jokes that are extremely culturally relativistic (such as camera shots focusing on feet and legs while people are sitting in seiza 正坐 "proper sitting", which is very uncomfortable for many, especially for prolonged periods of time). A Taxing Woman I think I may have once seen on a PBS channel? It has a sequel as well. I still haven't seen his other films.
