Product Information
Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman (Criterion Collection) 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 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. FEATURES New digital restorations of all twenty-five films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks The Blind Swordsman, a 1978 documentary about Zatoichi portrayer and filmmaker Shintaro Katsu, along with a new interview with its director, John Nathan New interview with Asian-film critic Tony Rayns Trailers New English subtitle translations PLUS: A book featuring an essay by critic Geoffrey O’Brien; synopses of the films by critic, novelist, and musician Chris D.; “The Tale of Zatoichi,” the original short story by Kan Shimozawa; and twenty-five new illustrations inspired by the films, by twenty-five different artistsProduct Identifiers

Two thumbs up!
Just what I needed to fill the bill after Youtube took them away. So much clearer on blu-ray. And I get to watch some of the films I wasn't able to find before. My favorite movies right there in the living room. A wonderful box set that I highly recommend to any Zatoichi fan.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Worth it.
This is one of the first times I wanted to buy since I start collecting Criterion movies and I'm glad I got this in my collection. I ended up opening at partially just enough so I can slip the DVD case out and then put it back in. My favorite was Zatoichi meets yojimbo.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Beautifully packaged DVD collection. Lots of info about each episode and the films have been remastered so they look and sound great. If you like Zatoichi then this is a must buy. It allows you to see the character development from start to finish. Wish I had bought it sooner!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
