Adventures of Zatoichi (1964)

  • Criterion Collection

  • Leave a comment

The theme of the ‘father figure’ dictates the narrative of this decent 9th instalment of the ‘Zatoichi’ series.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

French Dressing (1964)

  • Others
  • 1964, Ken Russell, UK
  • Leave a comment

This underappreciated debut feature by Ken Russell is a refreshing and energetic French New Wave-influenced comedy bursting with ideas and saying a thing or two about breaking conservative moral codes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Fight, Zatoichi, Fight (1964)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1964, Japan, Kenji Misumi, Zatoichi
  • 2 Comments

This 8th instalment is one of the series’ best—and different too—with director Kenji Misumi fashioning a slower-paced tale about Zatoichi’s longing for fatherhood. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Zatoichi’s Flashing Sword (1964)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1964, Japan, Kazuo Ikehiro, Zatoichi
  • 2 Comments

The franchise’s 7th movie is its first true disappointment with a middling story, low stakes and a weak villain.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Zatoichi and the Chest of Gold (1964)

Charulata (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Ray, Satyajit
  • 1964, India, Satyajit Ray
  • 4 Comments

Another extraordinary work by Ray, directed with a profound delicateness that translates into great performances and astonishing visual flourishes.

Band of Outsiders (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1964, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 2 Comments

Stylish and radical, this free-wheeling Godard film is entertaining and impossibly cool.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
