Better movie than I anticipated!

This is the true outline for the movie:
"In Japan, during the reign of Shogun Yoshimune, it is the era of the samurai and the ninja.
Many villages are outwardly peaceful, but a twisted sexual underbelly exists that affects more than just the criminals. Kaede and her sister are unfortunately victims of this when the eldest sister is raped and commits suicide shortly thereafter.
Kaede seeks vengeance, and a lady ninja nun who hears of the events aids her in the search. There is more to the story behind the rape, however, and the lies and secrets are slowly revealed behind a trail of clothing, sweat, and blood"
This was a neat little movie, with just enough swordplay, suspence and action for the person who wants this out of a movie, while it also has some titillating parts for those who crave more!
There are also several twists in the movie as it progresses, with the actual rapost being taken out in a most 'unique' way!
There is comedy, satire, action, drama and plot twists here!

No one besides Runa appears in the MDL list of cast; and I don't have the time to try and find each and every other cast members as well.
There is a second movie, which I will add and rate as I have the time.
There was little music, but the cinematography was great, and main and support cast were well-matched and kept the story going well.
My only complaint was the death of the elder sister's boyfriend, who was assisting his beau's sister until his demise.
RE-WATCH VALUE: Yes!
