Zatoichi (2003)
Giappone XIX sec. Zatôichi, massaggiatore cieco col vizio del gioco a dadi e micidiale maestro di spada, arriva in un villaggio i cui abitanti sono taglieggiati dal clan dei malvagi Ginzo. Col suo amico Shinkichi (Taka) s'imbatte nelle sorelle Naruto, Okinu (Yuko) e Osei (Daigorô), che si fingono geishe in attesa di vendicare il massacro dei genitori. Le aiuterà a fare giustizia. 1° film di Kitano in costume, del genere chambara (cappa e spada). Tratte dai popolari racconti di Kan Shimozawa, le avventure di Zatôichi furono rilanciate negli anni '60 dall'attore Shintaro Katsu che tra il '62 e l'86 interpretò il personaggio in una serie TV e in una ventina di lungometraggi per le sale.
