Product Description

Product Description

From visionary auteur Takashi Miike (13 ASSASSINS) comes the story of a mysterious samurai who arrives at the doorstep of his feudal lord, requesting an honorable death by ritual suicide in his courtyard. The lord threatens him with the brutal tale of Motome, a desperate young ronin who made a similar request with ulterior motives, only to meet a grisly end. Undaunted, the samurai begins to tell a story of his own, with an ending no one could see coming. With stunning cinematography and gripping performances, HARA-KIRI: DEATH OF A SAMURAI is a thrilling exploration of revenge, honor, and individuality in the face of oppressive power.

A Masterpiece!!
5 Stars
A Masterpiece!!
The cinematography alone is reason enough to watch this tale of Bushido in feudal Japan. I recently purchased Blade of the Immortal and this masterful samurai tale and am completely blown away. This movie is powerful yet subtle as events begin to build to the action filled conclusion. I would compare this movie to the great western "Unforgiven". The film centers on the family life of a samurai retainer who becomes a ronin following the whims of the Shogun. If you are a fan of Takashi Miike do not hesitate and buy this work of art.
