MPAA RUS: The US Version is shortened of plot

From IMDb. The European cut of the film goes into greater detail about the relationship between Peter and his dead wife. Several of the dialogue scenes also run longer. The US cut was shortened to speed up the pace and make the film more action-packed.

See version details from movie-censorship.com

The deleted scenes are not essential to the plot but do offer insight into the characters, and the film is worse for the excisions.

There is a slight difference between the UK cinema version and the UK DVD release. In the cinematic release, the Queen/Robbie Williams version of We Are The Champions starts playing when William and Jocelyn kiss just before the credits, whereas the DVD release has a different song play. However, We Are The Champions still plays over the last half of the credits.

Summary Notes

A woman and her daughter are raped and murdered by soldiers during a time of civil war. Afterwards, a series of samurai returning from the war through that area are found mysteriously dead ...

Unquestionably a companion piece to Onibaba, a film by the same Director. Kiyomi Kuroda's award winning cinematography sets the tone for this film, its Chiaroscuro/Noir visuals are nothing short of breathtaking. The underlying tragic story of lost love is also dealt with brilliantly by Shindo who is on fine form again.
