Review of Zatoichi the Fugitive (1963) by Christopher B — 04 Jan 2014
The hero finds Otane again, just as the tales of his exploits begin to spread. The ronin Gajuro reminds me of Mifune in the first of the Miyamoto Musashi trilogy; rough, rude, yet strong and with some natural swordsmanship. The excellent script & editing highlight the conflicts of village fairness with the yakuza way of might. This is a strong moral tale with an astounding final 25 minutes.
