Title:Hanzo the Razor:Sword ofJustice Hanzo is anincorruptible and unorthodoxofficer inEdo, as famous for his self-discipline and his love shaft as his sword.

Against the backdrop ofhis magistrate's occasionalroundingup ofvagrants, Hanzo learns that aninfamous killer is no longer onhis island prison: did he escape or was he never there? Hanzo's investigationleads himto the magistrate's mistress, the killer's former lover. Hanzo pursues political questions that suggest complicityat the highest levels. Usingsexualassault, he interrogates the mistress and later the favorite ofEdo's most powerfulwoman. Canhe get to the bottomofwhat's goingonbefore powerfulforces get himfired or killed?

Sword ofJustice is the filmthat kicked offthe Hanzo trilogy, where eachfilmwas done byThe Sword ofJustice different director. The originaltitle Goyokiba means somethinglike "Honorable blade user"or somethinglike that, accordingThe Sword ofJustice Google Translate yeahThe producer and the star is Shintaro Katsumost famouslyknownas Zatoichiwhile the writer is Kazuo Koike, who made the originalmanga ofthis, Lone Wolfand Cub, and LadySnowblood.

This trilogyis like a mixofsamurai-sploitation, soft-core pornand crime-sploitation. Kind oflike a mixofShaft, DirtyHarry, Yojimbo and pinku flicks. Eventhe slick title theme sounds like it's based onShaft's. It's like a miniature '70s time capsule. The protagonist, Hanzo Itami, is a bad-ass Edo-era officer strivingfor justice withhis saiblades inhis one hand and his penis inthe other. Because he needs it to interrogate the suspects. This maysound strange enough, but the thingis; the ladies quicklystart to enjoyit.

Therefore, Hanzo threatens that he'llstop The Sword ofJustice themunless theyThe Sword ofJustice out allthe info, inwhichcase they'llbe awarded withfurther rape!!! Obviously, this isn't the kind ofa filmyou'd have to take seriously, it's more like a sexfantasywitha budget once againI stress, the filmwas produced byKatsu.

To saythat theydon't make themlike theyused to is anunderstatement. A movie like this would never, never get made intoday's times. It's really a curious piece ofhistorythat somethinglike this exists. I admire the creativity, at least. The plot ofthis filmis typicalover-plotted mess, a soup of characters characteristic for a filmlike this.

There are some loose ends and many, manythings whichweren't clear to me at all, includingthe digressive sub-plot takingplace inthe last 10 minutes, where Hanzo ends up beinga saint for euthanazinga dyingdude byhanginghim, but really, this isn't the type offilmthat benefits fromthe plot.

It's a sick sexualfantasywhichneeds a pseudo-plot to make it somewhat justified. Ohbut let me The Sword ofJustice you, this movie is really visuallyinventive. Sharp editingand quick cuts, split screen, allthe moderngoods.

I like how whenever Hanzo has to travelto the other side ofthe town, he's shownrunningThe Sword ofJustice front ofmaps ofEdo inthe background, untilhe gets to the destination. I'mnot kidding. Almost 40 years before Gaspar Noe got the same idea for Enter the Void. Also, you reallyhave to admire the waythings are framed here. Someone put actualeffort into the visuals ofthis film. And it looks incredible. It follows the zen-framingpolitics ofmanysamuraifilms, The Sword ofJustice it looks absolutelyastonishing. The woman's face seenthroughthe net ofa straw basket, the water surface reflections ofcharacters dominatingthe frame, it's allso beautiful.

Retrospective series include five classic “Anti-Westerns” from the late 1960s and early 70s; the complete features of Russian master Aleksei Guerman; action epics and contemplative dramas from Japanese filmmaker Kenji Misumi; a breathtaking survey of Italian Masterworks from the neorealist era to the early 1970s; Depression Era comedies and dramas with scripts by the renowned Preston Sturges; and three silent comedy classics directed by and starring Charles Chaplin. Other Special Presentations include a screening of Yasujiro Ozu’s Dragnet Girl with live piano accompaniment and an in-person visit from veteran film and television director Tim Hunter, who will present one of his favorite films, Tsui Hark’s Shanghai Blues and a screening of his own acclaimed youth film, River’s Edge.

    Zatoichi: the Blind Swordsman (Set 1)

    Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman The colossally popular Zatoichi films make up the longest-running Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman 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 honor 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. This deluxe set features the string of twenty-five Zatoichi films made between 1962 and 1973, collected in one package for the first time. 1. THE TALE OF ZATOICHI Kenji Misumi 1962 The epic saga of Zatoichi begins. 2. THE TALE OF ZATOICHI CONTINUES Kazuo Mori 1962 Zatoichi is hired to give a massage to a powerful political official who, he (Set 1) discovers, is mentally ill—a secret that the nobleman’s retinue is determined to keep at any cost. The Criterion Collection The Tale of 3. NEW TALE OF ZATOICHI Zatoichi Tokuzo Tanaka 1963 1 Zatoichi is back—and in color! Hoping to leave violence behind, the blind masseur wanders to a village, where he meets an old friend fallen on hard times.

  • A Double Edged Sword: the Films of Shintaro Katsu & Raizo Ichikawa

    The Double-Edged Sword: The Films of Shintaro Katsu & Raizo Ichikawa © 1964 Kadokawa Pictures, Inc. The 1960s saw two of the most popular stars of Japanese post-WWII cinema grace movie screens. Like a strange but wonderful hybrid of Charlie Chaplin, Robert Mitchum, Wallace Beery and Clint Eastwood, Shintaro Katsu started out at Daiei Studios in the mid-1950s and labored pretty much unrecognized in period action movies and the occasional more serious “arthouse” film until 1962. That was the year he starred as a wandering blind masseur tired of being picked on who learns to wield a sword in Tale of Zatoichi (Zatoichi Monogatari) directed by unsung master Kenji Misumi. It was popular enough to warrant a sequel, and Katsu’s real-life brother Tomisaburo Wakayama played Zatoichi’s estranged brother and nemesis in the action-packed follow-up, The Tale of Zatoichi Continues (Zoku Zatoichi Monogatari). After that, with the box office breaking records, Daiei developed the character into a series of films. Katsu continued to portray the beloved blind swordsman in 26 movies as well as over 100 episodes on television. His last appearance as the humble, wisecracking anti-hero was in 1989 in Zatoichi (a film Katsu also directed). Katsu also starred in several of nouvelle vague director Yasuzo Masumura’s most memorable pictures, including Hoodlum Soldier (Heitai Yakuza) and Yakuza Masterpiece (Yakuza Zessho). In the late 1960s, Katsu formed his own production company, going on to produce most of the later Zatoichi films as well as all six of the Lone Wolf and Cub series (once again starring his brother, Tomisaburo Wakayama).

Martial arts cinema has often pushed filmmakers to expand the boundaries of cinematic form and technique. Is this commercial moviemaking or avant-garde cinema? In either case, the genre continues to adapt, diversify, and thrill audiences with its balanced mixture of discipline and fun. This course surveys martial arts movies from around the world (Hong Kong/China, Japan, the U.S., Thailand, Korea, Brazil, Norway, etc.) to investigate the seemingly inexhaustible global appeal of cinematic/martial arts. This class emphasizes the “traditional” art of critical film analysis, as applied to martial arts cinema. Course requirements include attendance for weekly class meetings/screenings, quizzes, completion of weekly homework tasks (including readings, home film viewings, and written reports), and a final paper, to be assigned midway through the term. Each student must exercise discipline in order to become a cinematic martial artist with a black belt in critical analysis!

    KI – Kendo iaido..on Line Numero 19 – Settembre 2007 ZATOICHI a cura di Dorian Pungetti Titolo originale: Zatoichi monogatari Nazione: Giappone Anno: 1962 95 minuti, b/n Regia: Kenji Misumi Katsu Shintaro, (Zatoichi) Amachi Shigeru, (Hirate) Banri Masayo, (Tane) Minami Michio (Tate), Shimada Ryuzo (Shigezou), Yanagi Eijiro (Sukegoro), Matemura Hajime (Hanji), Sceneggiatura di Minoru Inuzuka Soggetto: tratto da un racconto di Kan Shimozawa Nel Giappone dei secoli scorsi, il mestiere tipico dei non vedenti era quello del massaggiatore. Zatōichi (letteralmente “Ichi il massaggiatore cieco”) è un personaggio che, costretto dalla sua condizione, si guadagna sì da vivere come massaggiatore, ma cela, sotto questa umile apparenza e l’aspetto trasandato, un incallito giocatore d'azzardo e soprattutto un maestro di spada, veloce e inesorabile; Zatōichi infatti è capace sia di cogliere le più sottili differenze nel ticchettio dei dadi truccati sia di combattere abilmente contro moltitudini di avversari che lo circondano da ogni parte. KI 19 - Zatoichi di Dorian Pungetti Pag. 1/4 KI – Kendo iaido..on Line Numero 19 – Settembre 2007 Nel corso del suo incessante peregrinare sulle strade del vecchio Giappone, Zatōichi incontra il ricco mercante Sukegoro il quale, affascinato dalla padronanza delle tecniche di spada dimostrate da questo vagabondo cieco, lo invita pressantemente ad andarlo a trovare quando desidera. Zatōichi non se lo fa ripetere ma, giunto nel paese natale di Sukegoro, oltre a percepire attorno a lui un ambiente ostile, si trova suo malgrado trascinato in una guerra tra due clan di Yakuza: gli Iioka e i Sasagawa Zatōichi con la sua propensione ad aiutare i più deboli si trova coinvolto, inoltre, nella difesa di una giovane donna: Tane a cui il fratello Tate vuol tornare ad imporre il violento Yakuza con cui era sposata.

    Kitano's Zatoichi and Kurosawa's Traditions of "Jidaigeki" Comedies Rie Karatsu, Massey University, New Zealand

    Between Comedy and Kitsch: Kitano's Zatoichi and Kurosawa's Traditions of "Jidaigeki" Comedies Rie Karatsu, Massey University, New Zealand Introduction If I make a film starring Kitano, it will be Zatoichi. (Akira Kurosawa, quoted in Sugimura, 2003: 96) The "jidaigeki," or Japanese historical drama, has seen a resurgence in recent years, fuelled by interest in the genre and action by Japanese and Western directors. Films such as Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (2003 and 2004) and The Last Samurai (2003), have produced interesting and popular films borrowing from the style and conventions created much earlier in the development of Japanese jidaigeki films. Any samurai film, whether made in or outside Japan, undoubtedly draws comparisons with Akira Kurosawa's samurai classics. In none of these works is recognition of a specific cultural context more important than in Takeshi Kitano's recent adaptation of the original Zatoichi (1962). Set in nineteenth-century Japan, Kitano's Zatoichi (2003) tells the story of Ichi (Takeshi Kitano); a blind, wandering masseur with a gambling problem and sword-fighting skills. Ichi wanders into a remote mountain town ruled by corrupt officials and a gang of rough mobsters. When he befriends a widow (Michiyo Ookuso) and her nephew Shinkichi (Gadarukanaru Taka), a dice gambler, he learns that the town is in the middle of a massive gang war in which two mob bosses (Saburo Ishikura and Ittoku Kishibe) lay waste to the competition with the help of the highly skilled ronin named Hattori (Asano Tadanobu). Hattori takes a job as an assassin for one of these gang lords in order to pay for treatment for his sick wife.
