#20: TWO GIANTS OF JAPANESE CINEMA
|
This 20th entry of the Zatoicihi series finds the legendary actor [Toshiro Mifune] in the role of Sasa. The character Ichi [Shintaro Katsu] is tired of killing and decides to go to the peaceful and tranquil village he rememebers in the mountains. However, this is not the same tranquil village that he last left. Sasa [Mifune] does not like Ichi at first, but eventually comes to respect Ichi in this very long [116 minutes] Zatoichi episode.
I like everything about the Zatoichi films. And what's not to like about Toshiro Mifune? One of the greatest actors ever. But this episode is more of an average to above average outing of the Zatoichi films. Maybe I came to expect too much from such outstanding persona's of the samurai cinema. The film does not disappoint as a Zatoichi film; however, with two excellent stars one would expect something greater.
This film is more part dark-comedy, and long-drama, than one is used to in most of the other Zatoichi films. And as fans of Ichi I would definetly recommend this movie. However, do not expect too much from the title--as this is more of an averge Zatocihi film. Above average considering the fact that there are some good qualities to the film, and does star the great Toshiro Mifune. However, I did expect more of Mifune's character than he gave to the film. Recommended. |
