A vengeful assassin embarks on a bloody quest for revenge in this visually stunning, action-packed Japanese classic.
Born in prison to a mother consumed by vengeance, Yuki Kashima, A.K.A Lady Snowblood, is raised to be a relentless assassin with a single mission: to exact revenge on the criminals who destroyed her family.
As an anti-hero, Yuki is driven not by justice. Her mission isn’t to protect the innocent or uphold a moral code, but to exact revenge in a cycle of bloodshed. Neither heroic or villainous, she is a tragic figure, shaped by the cruelty that shattered her family.
Lady Snowblood explores the cost of vengeance, asking if it can ever bring peace. As Yuki closes in on her targets, the toll it takes on her humanity is clear. Set against a visually stunning and violent backdrop, this film is a powerful examination of the moral complexities of the anti-hero, all within the striking aesthetic of the swordplay genre.
