 | | Lady Snowblood, directed in 1973 by Toshiya Fujita for exploitation audiences in Japan, serves as the “inspiration” for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill two-part film. |
 | | Without set pieces to recommend Lady Snowblood to audiences, Fujita’s film stands or falls on his occasional visual flourishes, intricately tied to the depiction of violence and death, and Meiko Kaji’s performance as the central character. |
 | | For less discriminating genre fans, the answer is yes, due to Lady Snowblood's exploitation value, Fujita’s occasionally stylish direction, and the connection to Tarantino’s film. |
