If you loved Kubi, try Zatoichi - Der blinde Samurai
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Takeshi Kitano, and they both carry the playful, raw mood tags, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kubi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Zatoichi - Der blinde Samurai is
Rainy village streets, a lone cane tapping. A blind masseur with a sword, rival gangs circling, townspeople caught in between. Kitano balances action and drama with characteristic restraint.
