Surayuki Hime aka Lady snowblood; Blizzard from the Netherworlds in the english speaking world is another cult Samurai classic.

Its set in the Meiji era (Restoration of the Emperor after the international opening of the country in the 1880s) and features the legendary actress Meiko Kaji in the lead role. Its an amazing film for its genre - Kill Bill is almost entirely based on it and immitates its format, plot and at times even camera settings.

Essentially an action drama with plenty of swordwork and gruesome gore. The main theme is vengeance. A must see.
