WALL-E
Full Trailer For Fumihiko Sori’s ICHI!
Posted by Todd Brown at 8:50pm.

You know what I love about Twitch readers? They have great taste, by which I of course mean taste very similar to my own, and so I know that when I head away from home for a few days - as I just did, traveling to Fantasia - I can count on them to find all the good stuff that I don’t have the time to go looking for myself. Such as what happened right now, when I received an email from regular reader Raku pointing out the full theatrical trailer for Fumihiko Sori’s Ichi.
Sori, of course, is the much loved director of Ping Pong and Vexille and this film is his re-envisioning of the classic Zatoichi story with a young girl replacing the older man as the wandering, sword wielding, blind masseur. I had the chance to catch this in the market at Cannes and while it played things much closer to traditional chanbara traditions than I’d expected it’s a truly beautiful piece of work. Very tasty.
Check out the full trailer and original teaser below the break!

With the exception of that generic pop song at the beginning, it looks interesting.

I’m a big fan of Zatoichi and I’ve been curious to see this since I first heard about it here. Trailer looks good. Count me in!

interesting to see very beautifully shot scenes alternated with over the top, nearly slapstick, acting. Reminds me a bit of Samurai Fiction. This could be interesting indeed.

I just hope romance is kept to a minimum. There’s no crying in yakuza-slaying

Looks very good indeed. Looking forward to it.

Yawn.
