If you loved Ping Pong, try Ichi – Die blinde Schwertkämpferin
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 Fumihiko Sori, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ping Pong, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ichi – Die blinde Schwertkämpferin is
You're a blind minstrel crossing scorched roads and restless towns, your shamisen slung over a shoulder, a cane tapping ahead like a heartbeat. And then the blade slides free from polished wood when hands reach for you in alley shadows. The film walks the line between ballad and bloodshed, 19th-century Japan flickering in torchlight and steel.
