Lady Ninja Kasumi (2005)
A girl from a peaceful, Edo-era Japanese village seeks revenge for the death of a disgraced elder with the help of her sister and a lethal lady ninja nun. It's the time of the samurai and ninja, and Shogun Yoshimune rules Japan. Beneath the idyllic façade of the quant villages populating the countryside dwells a twisted sexual underbelly that affects the wealthy and impoverished alike. When one of the village elders commits seppuku after being raped, Kaede and her sister decide to take justice into their own hands and track down the perpetrator. Aided by a nun who believes in Old Testament-style retribution, the two sisters embark on a bloody mission of vengeance. Along the way, the three women slice and dice their way through lies and secrets while discovering that the story behind the rape is much more complex than any of them suspected.

One of my all time favorites.
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
The three films on separate discs (about an hour and 19 minutes each) are part of a series of tales about Sanada clan Lady Ninja Kasumi, who doesn't really appear to be neither. During this era there is feudal lord issues as they strive to protect their territory. Kasumi has developed a talent for getting captured, tied up, groped, up skirted and raped. Not that it makes for a bad film, but the other action is not fulfilling once you set the bar that high. And how is it everyone knows about the secret scroll?My disc one had no English subtitles but did have an extra for an outtake of all the nude scenes which I guess counts for something.
