Summary

A young woman, trained from childhood as an assassin and hell-bent on revenge for her heinous crimes committed against her family, hacks and slashes her way to gory satisfaction in turn-of-the-century Japan. Rampant with inventive violence and spectacularly choreographed swordplay, Toshiya Fujita's pair of influential cult classics Lady Snowblood and Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance are bloody, beautiful extravaganzas composed of one elegant composition after another. The first Lady Snowblood was a major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill saga, and both of Fujita's films remain cornerstones of Asian action cinema.
