Harakiri (1962)

Down-on-his-luck veteran Tsugumo Hanshirō enters the courtyard of the prosperous House of Iyi. Unemployed, and with no family, he hopes to find a place to commit seppuku—and a worthy second to deliver the coup de grâce in his suicide ritual. The senior counselor for the Iyi clan questions the ronin's resolve and integrity, suspecting Hanshirō of seeking charity rather than an honorable end. What follows is a pair of interlocking stories which lay bare the difference between honor and respect, and promises to examine the legendary foundations of the Samurai code.

Kobayashi's a genius. Taut and absolutely gripping. I don't like to use the term loosely, but this film merits the accolade of "masterpiece". Hardly a surprise considering the talent gathered to make it, from Tatsuya Nakadai in the leading role to Shinobu Hashimoto's screenplay to Takemitsu's score.

Tatsuya Nakadai is Hanshiro Tsugumo, an elder warrior who lost everything and has nothing to live for. Under samurai code, he chooses to end his life the honorable way by requesting to commit ritual suicide, or hara-kiri (self-inflicted disembowelment) in the house of a feudal lord. Before the act is carried out, we learn of what becamse of his son-in-law in a series of flashbacks and plot twists. Not exactly your average samurai flick, this film has a pretty deep story. Tatsuya Nakadai is probably my favorite actor and this is one of his greatest roles.

One intense and tragic film to behold. It started off and I was mildly interested in it, but it went places I did not expect as its story unfolded. The story is beautifully crafted and is a scathing criticism of Japanese culture. Kobayashi is also a wonderful director who makes a tremendously good looking film as well. All around emotionally draining and remarkably tension filled film.

Masaki Kobayashi's quitessential criticism of the Tokugawa Shogunate during its early inception, Hara-Kiri is a Japanese Period film that deliberately engulfs you in the harsh of what lies outside of the life of a samurai.

Entrer sociologique et historique dans l'univers trouble des Samurai et des Ronin à l'époque des Tokugawa.
