Lady Snowblood / Shurayukihime / Japan / 1973

Having a soft spot for revenge dramas, I was led to Lady Snowblood with promises that it would top them all, including Tarantino’s recent adaptation. Yes, there’s a cornucopia of bloody stumps, great soundtrack, well-done choreography, and gallons of blood offered to us in geysers, but it all seems somewhat overdone (well, more overdone than usual). Not to downplay Fujita’s ingenuity as a director—he’s an undeniable trailblazer when it comes to cinematic vengeance. But having seen and loved both installments of Kill Bill, I feel like I’ve already seen this.
