From the director of Ping Pong and Vexille comes this update of the legendary Zatoichi narrative. Ichi, a young blind woman who wanders the countryside as a Goze (musician), runs afoul of the dreaded Banki Gang. Fortunately for her, and for the villagers forced to deal with the gang's criminal activities, Ichi possesses skills far more deadly than her ability to sing and play the shamisen (a traditional three-stringed Japanese guitar). Near-silent and self-sufficient Ichi is accompanied in her travels by a tragic, would-be samurai named Touma. When local villagers decide that Touma is the one repeatedly slaying Banki thugs, they propose he accept the job of bodyguard to the village master. While the pay looks promising, an impending Banki attack is the last thing on Touma's mind. ICHI is a beautifully photographed tale of mistaken identities and rediscovered courage, with enough swordplay to keep action-film aficionados engaged while telling its dramatic story.
