Martial arts double feature has great action
“The Complete Lady Snowblood” is a double feature from the early 1970s. Both films take place in turn-of-the-20th century Japan. In the first, “Lady Snowblood,” Yuki Kashima (Meiko Kaji), is a female warrior of Samurai blood seeking vengeance against the people who murdered her father and brother and raped her mother, all before she was even born. With a vendetta plot reminiscent of “The Godfather,” “Lady Snowblood” features a seductive, beautiful protagonist with considerable skill in using a blade hidden in her umbrella.<br /><br />In the sequel, ”Love Song of Vengeance,” a wounded Kashima has avenged her family and is visiting their graves. She almost immediately snaps into action when ambushed by a group of bandits, and is pursued by a large dragnet of cops who are after her for her crimes in the first “Lady Snowblood” film. The police eventually offer her a pardon if she agrees to help them get incriminating evidence on a revolutionary leader.<br /><br />Both movies  take place against the background of the Meiji restoration, a period in Japanese history that ushered in “modern” Japan. After 300 years of isolationism under the Shoguns, the shift of power to young emperor Meiji led to increased interactions with the West and a new policy of expanding trade and colonialism.<br /><br />Bonus features on the Blu-ray edition include new interviews with Kazuo Koike, the author of the manga — a style of Japanese comic books and graphic novels aimed at adults as well as children — that inspired the films, and screenwriter Norio Osada; trailers; and a critical essay. The films are in Japanese, with English subtitles.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : A young woman (Meiko Kaji), trained from childhood as an assassin and hell bent on revenge for her father s murder and her mother s rape, hacks and slashes her way to gory satisfaction. Rampant with inventive violence and spectacularly choreographed swordplay, Toshiya Fujita s pair of influential cult classics Lady Snowblood and Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance, set in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Japan, respectively, are bloody, beautiful extravaganzas composed of one elegant widescreen composition after another. The first Lady Snowblood was a major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino s Kill Bill saga, and both of Fujita s films remain cornerstones of Asian action cinema.BLU RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES  New 2K digital restorations of both films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks New interviews with Kazuo Koike, the writer of the manga on which the films are based, and screenwriter Norio Osada Trailers New English subtitle translations PLUS: An essay by critic Howard Hampton.
