I miss Zatôichi playing dice!, 10 August 2007
7/10

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

If not exceptional, a good and sometimes strange entry in the Zatôichi series.

After two successive unusual and in part unrelated beginnings, we enter truly familiar territories. The planned and promising pilgrimage to 88 shrines to find somehow the "meaning of death", suddenly stops at 18:10 when Ichi, following a horse, approaches a town of abused villagers.

Of course, Zatôichi is ready (ready?) to protect them, perhaps with a little less enthusiasm than in other occasions. There's tiredness in Zatoichi's aim, a sensation that pervades the complete film until the final long and very good fight.

No humor, not a scene of dice playing in this one! Not even the pilgrimage of the title! But we learn that the good man can swim with extraordinary lack of style or grace...
