Bloody revenge is raised to the level of visual poetry in this stunning action thriller by Toshiya Fujita.
A major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" saga, this endlessly inventive film, set in late 19th-century Japan, charts the single-minded path of vengeance taken by a young woman named Yuki (Meiko Kaji), whose parents were the unfortunate victims of a gang of brutal criminals.
Fujita creates a wildly entertaining film filled with operatic violence while also maintaining an effortless balancing act between beauty and brutality as Yuki blazes a crimson trail of a merciless gore in the fulfillment of her destiny.
Don’t miss your chance to see the original female assassin on the big screen!
