Lady Snowblood

ActionAdventureCrimeDramaFantasyThriller97 min

Born inside her mother’s plan for revenge, Yuki grows up with one purpose: find the people who destroyed her family. In Meiko Kaji’s hands, she moves through Meiji-era Japan with a calm surface and a hidden blade, tracking the men and woman tied to the rape of her mother and the killing of her half brother. The story cuts between Yuki’s hunt and the past that created it, showing how her mother turned rage into a mission for the daughter she would never raise herself. Each step brings Yuki closer to her targets and deeper into a life shaped entirely by violence.
