Review of Harakiri (1962) by Alexander C — 07 Dec 2012
Makes Kill Bill look like a redundant copy. Among the best Samurai films and doesn't back down. Japanese cinema clearly was ahead of Western pictures, and this piece is proof.
Harakiri or Seppuku sucks you in with it's wonderfully woven storytelling, breath-taking cinematography and sweeping grandeur of picturesque, powerful duels.
Tatsuya Nakadai is the acting legend....Masaki Kobayashi captures the time, the story and the powerful emotion and honour behind every poise.
