    Björk Stalker-core. Harmony Korine does some really interesting stuff here with his little shot-on-video slice-of-life film which comes so disconcertingly close to life that it gives off the same vibe that a lot of the best found-footage movies do. Essentially depicts the average day in the life of your weird neighbours who are always doing bizarre shit in the street that you don't always quite have the context for - hell, you might even be those neighbours.

    Yuki isn't like the other girls, specifically because she's a borderline-supernatural demon woman born only for one purpose - vengeance. We never once see her eat, drink or sleep throughout the course of Lady Snowblood - only rage and the blood of her enemies fuel her. Yet, still, we see glimpses of Yuki wishing her life wasn't just an endless cycle of violence, looking at other…
