Tange Sazen

About This Movie

Tange Sazen (1990) dives into the quirky world of samurai drama, featuring Fujita Makoto as the titular character. The film has this great mix of humor and action, punctuated by Tange's flaws – a one-eyed, one-armed warrior who's surprisingly relatable, especially in his interactions with women. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the Edo-era atmosphere, while the practical effects give a nice touch to the sword fights. Storywise, it revolves around the kooky quest for the earless monkey jar, which serves as a backdrop for Tange’s moral dilemmas. It's a distinctive blend of comedy and action, showcasing how the hero stands up for the little guy against corruption.
