The film realistically portrays the efforts to break down the outdated system and revitalize the bank. The "Asahi Central Bank (ACB)" appearing in the film is a fictional bank, and its internal factionalism, outdated practices, and collusion with corporate racketeers are modeled after the actual 1997 scandal involving the First National Bank (now Mizuho Bank) and its payments to corporate racketeers. - Title: JUBAKU - Spellbound - Director: Masato Harada - Genre: Japanese Film - Awards: Selected for the 50th Berlin International Film Festival - Disc Condition: Good - Language: Japanese
