If you loved Hana, try ICHI
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 Hana, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What ICHI 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.
