If you loved Sword Devil, try Samaritan Zatoichi
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 Kenji Misumi, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sword Devil, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Samaritan Zatoichi is
You roam as Zatoichi, a blind masseur with a quick blade. A fatal error leads to a debt, paid in full by a grieving sister, but then a yakuza thirsts for more. Misumi lets snow fall to mute the violence. A somber mood lingers.
