Back to blind swordsmen with...
Adventures of Zatoichi
Z heads to a town to worship at the dawn of the new year. Unfortunately he gets embroiled in local politics as a corrupt magistrate is in bed with a local Yakuza and making life hell for the townsfolk. Z helps two young women, one whose brother is out for revenge against the magistrate, the other looking for her missing father. Pretty soon, in spite of his desire to have some peace and quiet poor old Z must begin the killing once again. As per usual the film delivers some wonderful imagery, especially the ending, and some top quality swordfighting as Z mows his way through more thugs.
