Tonight, at the Movies

Following the footsteps of the blind masseur and swordsman Zatoichi comes Ichi, a woman and a daughter who travels the land as a 'goze' or visually impaired woman who plays the traditional three-stringed shamisen. This woman, however, has a hidden talent. She not only has the command of a lightning-fast blade, but also uses it in terms of justice and a quest for her long-lost father. Matching her skill is a man whose swordsmanship is only bested by his internal inhibition. —aghaemi

Beautiful Woman

You can watch this East Asian film on streaming. It is great actually. It is the story of a beautiful woman who is blind yet wields a mean swift sword when necessary. The woman is incredibly pretty (slender, clean, no tattoos, no trashy mannerisms and long hair) and holds the high moral ground by fighting the local mafia.
