If you loved Zatoichi: Darkness Is His Ally, try Fight, Zatoichi, Fight
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 / Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zatoichi: Darkness Is His Ally, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Fight, Zatoichi, Fight is
You're a wandering blind swordsman, befriending a woman and her baby. But gangsters murder her, thinking she's you. Now you must deliver the child to its father. A pickpocket reluctantly assists, though neither is prepared for the father's reaction. Misumi's widescreen compositions highlight Zatoichi's isolation.
