Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai

Ichimei

Revenge, honor and disgrace collide when a samurai's request to commit ritual suicide leads to a tense showdown with his feudal lord. From cult auteur Takashi Miike (13 Assassins).

Nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

"It may well be Miike's best film, a patient, ominous piece of epic storytelling that conscientiously rips the scabs off the honorable samurai mythology." - Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
