If you loved Zatoichi on the Road, try Adventures of Zatôichi
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 Kimiyoshi Yasuda, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zatoichi on the Road, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
playful
What Adventures of Zatôichi is
You wander feudal Japan as a sightless masseur, though your cane hides a deadly secret. Then a village boss vanishes. Ichi meets two sisters caught in the fallout. Yasuda's chambara installment features lower stakes than most, but still lingers due to its familial touchstones.
