About The Snake Girl and the Silver-Haired Witch
Up until this point, young Sayuri Nanjo has had to live most of her life in a nun-run boarding school for orphans and away from her parents. That's all about to change when her real father mysteriously comes to get her and finally bring her home.
Directed by Noriaki Yuasa, The Snake Girl and the Silver-Haired Witch leans on a strong ensemble — Yachie Matsui, Mayumi Takahashi, Sei Hiraizumi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1968.
