Zatoichi in Desperation (1972)

Zatoichi in Desperation 1972 Star Shintaro Katsu sits in the directors chair for this psychedelic and unremittingly bleak entry in the Zatoichi series, which is unlike any other in its grind house grimness A tale of innocence corrupted by sadistic, sleazy criminality, the film is propelled by Easy Rider esque editing and a trippy seventies funk score by Kunihiko Murai
