**Screenwriter:** Norio Osada **Producer:** Kikumaru Okuda Gory revenge is raised to the level of visual poetry in Toshiya Fujita’s stunning *Lady Snowblood.* A major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s *Kill Bill* saga, this endlessly inventive film, set in late nineteenth-century Japan, charts the single-minded path of vengeance taken by a young woman (Meiko Kaji) whose parents were the unfortunate victims of a gang of brutal criminals. Fujita creates a wildly entertaining action film of remarkable craft, an effortless balancing act between beauty and violence. **Picks from the Video Store** Meiko Kaji is one of the most elegantly bad-ass ladies of cinema, check out her section in Martial Arts for more kick-ass gems! *Delinquent Girl Boss, Female Prisoner 701: Scorpion, Blind Woman’s Curse* **Accessibility Options**: Open Captions, Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
