LADY SNOWBLOOD is a classic revenge epic that shaped the Japanese Samurai and 1970s Rape-and-Revenge genres, influencing numerous imitators including Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill." The title references "Shirayuki-hime" (Snow White) and "Shura" (a term for Indian demon Asura). After her family is brutally murdered, Yuki is raised by former samurai and, driven by a desire for vengeance, hunts down the criminals responsible for the atrocity. Based on the manga of the same name by Kazuo Koike and Kazuo Kamimura, the film is renowned for its stylized violence and highly aestheticized fight scenes, exploring the complex interplay between the heroine’s thirst for blood and her quest for inner peace.
