Title: Zatoichi - In Color!
Product review: I'd bought the box set 1 - 4 and I've just seen this episode 4 - it's probably the best of the first 4 and it's in color! I seem to remember the previous ones being in black and white? Well, the technicolor transfer to DVD here is just dazzling. The colors are rich and full, and with the viewing of this episode 4 I've come to realize what the Zatoici pictures are - minor works of art. Each scene is a painted picture of imagery and color. And as I mentioned, this Episode 4 "The Fugitive" may be the best in the box set, and not only for it being in color but for the story as well. To tell you the truth, episode 3 "New Tale of Zatoichi" had rather put me to sleep, beautiful as it was. In episode 4, not a long episode, things move faster and there are a couple of exciting scenes which make this episode one of the more memorable. The picture ends with rather a tear and a smile. Works of art. Not a bad place to start with Zatoichi.
