Quotes taken from the review at:

www.mandiapple.co.uk/snowblood/samuraimon.htm

"Samurai Monogatari feels ancient yet contemporary, still yet kinetic, dignified yet oddly edgy. The film yields greater depth on each viewing, but still feels fresh despite its short running time."

"Made in high-contrast black and white, Evans' camera is almost exclusively static; instead of frenetic action, the cinematography is all about careful composition, each shot looking almost like a still-life, adding a defiant dignity to the story-telling."
"The fight sequences have a balletic lyricism to them, implicit rather than explicit, although still not lacking in dynamism or sheer bloodiness."
