“Both ridiculously over the top and serenely beautiful, often in the very same shot.” -The Stranger
Gory revenge is raised to the level of visual poetry in Toshiya Fujita’s stunning Lady Snowblood, based on the manga series co-created by Kazuo Koike (Lone Wolf and Cub). A major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill saga, this endlessly inventive film, set in late nineteenth-century Japan, charts the single-minded path of vengeance taken by a young woman (Meiko Kaji) whose parents were the unfortunate victims of a gang of brutal criminals. Fujita creates a wildly entertaining action film of remarkable craft, an effortless balancing act between beauty and violence.
