If you loved Satan's Sword, try Zatoichi Goes to the Fire Festival
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
Both films are directed by Kenji Misumi, and they sit in Action territory. If that's the register that drew you to Satan's Sword, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Zatoichi Goes to the Fire Festival is
You’re a blind masseur honing a blade in the shadows of Edo when a yakuza boss marks you for death. The jealous husband tracking you through steam baths and dice dens thinks he’s the bigger threat—until the city’s fire festival lights the fuse.
