If you loved Ping Pong, try Ichi, la femme samouraï
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
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, la femme samouraï 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.
