If you loved El verano de Kikujiro, try Zatoichi
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Takeshi Kitano, and they both carry the foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El verano de Kikujiro, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Zatoichi 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.
