Zatoichi: Farmers sequence

A wondeful example of what I call "concrete video", a mix between 'concrete music' and musical. Excerpted from Zatoichi (Kitano, 2003), the scene was choreographed and played by The Stripes.

Which Zatoichi was this movie? Is this the remake? I've never seen Zatoichi because I gave up Samurai Cinema after seeing one Lone Wolf & Cub beginning. But, Zatoichi is making me rethink about trying them out. This looks like it might be cool. I also read that there was a remake of Zatoichi which might be even cooler. Is this it or the original?

Remake indeed, by Takeshi Kitano (2003).

@DruTraneX Hi.

If youreally want to see a beautiful example of rhythm in a movie, watch this on Youtube:

Our Daily Bread (Part 7 of 8)

That was done by KING VIDOR back around 1934. Watch it first without listening to the words, just the sounds and rythm's. Then watch it again and listen to how the voices are almost like a chorus singing above the background sounds. Interesting

I love this part, because it shows how back in those days how the worked with rhythm.

It's true look it up.
