If you loved Shinobi no Mono 3: Resurrection, try Zatoichi at Large

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 Kazuo Mori, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shinobi no Mono 3: Resurrection, 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.
