this film look and feel like a revenge kung fu movie should . where there be a lack of long and shallow action scene and there be instead deep emotional meaning behind every shot . it be wonderfully direct and edit and and the acting be perfect . it no wonder that lady snowblood be one of the main influence on tarantino and his awesome kill bill . for anyone who want to explore the japanese kung fu saga and this movie be a great start . one of the best foreign movie i have ever see .
