If you loved La nueva historia de Zatoichi, try Zatoichi el fugitivo

Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Tokuzō Tanaka, and they both carry the outsider mood tag, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La nueva historia de Zatoichi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
