Zatoichi (2003)

Posted on 09:05 by john cena

Japan
Feature Film
Original Title: 座頭市
Directror: Kitano Takeshi
Writers: Kitano Takeshi, Shimozawa Kan
Cinematography: Yanagishima Katsumi
Composer: Suzuki Keiichi
Cast: Beat Takeshi, Asano Tadanobu, Okusu Michiyo, Natsukawa Yui, Taka Guadalcanal, Tachibana Daigiro, Daike Yuko, Kishibe Ittoku, Ishikura Saburo, Emoto Akira

A thoroughly bonkers and irreverent film from Kitano, filled with blood-gushingly absurd black-humour, enjoyable anachronisms, and whimsical plotting and characterisation, Zatoichi follows a preternaturally gifted, blind killer/masseur as he wanders into a small village and systematically cleans it up (and not with a broom).
