If you loved Bushido: The Cruel Code of the Samurai, try Zatoichi on the Road

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Action / Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bushido: The Cruel Code of the Samurai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Zatoichi on the Road is

You're Zatoichi, honor-bound to guard a child. But regional gangs ignite a war. Allies are scarce. The road ahead is paved with blades. Yasuda's widescreen compositions make the most of Ichi's kinetic grace. The film leaves one pondering duty versus destiny.
