“An absolute feast for the senses.”
Polygon

“Violent, beautiful, a supernaturally inflected medieval story of female revenge.”
Vulture

In Kaneto Shindô’s stately-but-shocking ghost story, a mother and daughter live on the fringes of a civil war, making a grim living killing soldiers who wander through their bamboo grove and selling their armor. As you might expect, the story takes a supernatural turn that is as stylish and spooky as anyone could hope. In 35mm.
