If you loved Zatoichi and the Doomed Man, try Zatoichi at Large
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Kazuo Mori, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zatoichi and the Doomed Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Zatoichi at Large is
You wander Japan as a blind masseur, a kindly soul with a blade. You find a dying woman and deliver her child, but her last wish sends you searching for the father. The infant's aunt is then ensnared in a local extortion scheme. Mori's widescreen compositions show a poignant, wandering hero. One ponders the nature of obligation.
