I bought Lady Snowblood and had the time tonight, so I decided to watch it again to make sure my copy worked. First let me start off by saying that any fan of the Kill Bills needs to see this movie! Not only is this one of the best Japanese movies I've seen, but it's also one of the best revenge movies I've ever seen.

Since this was my 2nd time watching this movie I wanted to pay more attention to certain things. The story and directing of this movie are awesome! I love the blood splatter, the use of flashbacks, the way the director freezes a frame to introduce characters but putting their name on the screen, and the way the camera makes extreme close ups and zoom outs as necessary. The acting in this movie is very good as well as is the music. It definitely has that 70s/retro movie feeling IMO. A great movie for anyone anyway you slice it!
