Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance (1974)

The first Lady Snowblood film was a stylish tale of vengeance and family honour. The sequel isn't. It places Yuki in the middle of a political situation that doesn't give her room to breathe.
It's bleak from beginning to end. The dreary feeling is further enhanced by poor lighting and camerawork that's mostly uninspired.
