Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman Boxset - The Criterion Collection
€258,49
THE ADVENTURES OF THE LEGENDARY BLIND SWORDSMAN IN A KILLER, TWENTY‐FIVE FILM SET!
The colossally popular Zatoichi films make up the longest‐running action series in Japanese history and created one of the screen’s great heroes: an itinerant blind masseur who also happens to be a lightning‐fast swordsman. As this iconic figure, the charismatic and earthy SHINTARO KATSU became an instant superstar, lending a larger‐than‐life presence to the thrilling adventures of a man who lives staunchly by a code of honour and delivers justice in every town and village he enters. The films that feature him are variously pulse pounding, hilarious, stirring, and completely off‐the‐wall.
