Argentinian film shot in the Giallo style. In fact it is hard spot out that it wasn't shot in Italy in the classic Giallo period. A while since I last watched this but enjoyed it a lot...

Picture quality isn't great but I'm really enjoying these. I'm in tune with the rhythm of the episodes now and of course loving #MeikoKaji. I'll be sad to get to the end of this cinematic journey tomorrow...

Used up all of my monthly physical media budget on this rascal but well worth it! 😊

TV Series 🇯🇵 Eps 1-3
Set in the Sengoku Period, 1477 - 1573. #MeikoKaji is a mysterious character named Sae, wandering from place to place ready to help out the hard done to and opressed. She carries a whip, and a blade hidden in a flute. Oh and she is really cool.🖤
