Miyako is a frustrated insurance saleswoman stuck in a major dry spell. She tries every trick in the book, including aggressive flirting, which gets her plenty of gropers but no buyers. One day while venturing down a narrow stairwell, she injures her ankle and happens upon Mitsuru who works for some mysterious foreign company. Decked out in high goth style -- complete with long inky black hair and mascaraed eyes -- Mitsuru cuts quite an odd figure, yet his seductive though menacing ways make him difficult for Miyako to resist. Escorting her to his office to treat her ankle, Miyako notices that his all-female staff seem more glassy-eyed and soul-deadened than the average office workers. In fact, they seem almost like zombies. Later, weird things start happening. Mitsuko finds vomit on her doorstep, she seems to be tailed by a shadowy woman in a red dress, and most strikingly, she finds herself utterly powerless against Mitsuru's advances. Soon she is offered a job at Mitsuru's office among the undead and the damned. Does Miyako's potential new place of employment at least offer stock options in exchange for her soul?

昭和初期の福岡・筑豊炭鉱の落盤事故で死んだ豪気な父・伊吹重蔵（仲代達矢）の血を受け継いだ遺児・信介（田中健）は、義母タエ（吉永小百合）や周囲の人々の慈愛の下、やがて青春の門を通り抜けていく。五木寛之の代表作ともいえる長編大河小説の第1作『筑豊篇』を『キューポラのある街』などの名匠・浦山桐郎監督のメガホンで映画化した超大作。ここで彼は原作のテイストとは異なるアプローチをいくつか試みており、特に貧困、差別といった戦前戦後の社会問題や風俗性を原作以上に強調しつつ、ひとりの青年の成長を丹念に追っていく。信介の幼なじみ織江役に、当時新人だった大竹しのぶが扮し、初々しくも見事な演技を披露している。いくつかの大胆なシーンを果敢にこなした吉永も、本作で清純派からの脱皮に成功している。（的田也寸志）
