If Anti-Westerns are a thing, then surely anti-jidaegeki must be too, and this would be that sub-genre's crowning jewel. Not only does this have some of the prettiest camerawork and tensest dialogue I've ever experienced in a film, but it also systematically dismantles and obliterates all romanticized notions of the bushido code, an entire country's national mythology, and ultimately, how the rich and powerful use violence under pretexts of ideological purity in order perpetuate their power.

Em honra dos cem anos de Shinobu Hashimoto, que, ao contrário da maioria dos centenários, ainda está vivo. Holy shit! Esse filme é tão imenso politica, estetica e sentimentalmente e o Kobayashi é tão mestre de sua arte, sabendo como ninguém colocar a câmera no seu devido lugar que eu me sinto uma palerma por não ter assistido essa obra de arte antes. E pensar que tenho o box da Guerra e Humanidade aqui e nunca assisti. tsc tsc. Kobayashi é cinema.

Wowee, a PSI of 99 has to be the highest I've ever seen. I get it, too; Harakiri is incredibly good on all fronts, and even tells its tale in an interesting and effective way. I didn't know who directed it or who was in it, but I figured I had a case of the face-blindness and the main character had to be Mifune, on account of how perfect he was in that role. The pacing in the beginning of the latter half caused my attention to waver a little bit, but it wraps up very well. 23rd film of 2018.

Everything I value in a movie is represented here to near perfection. It has an emotional depth that you just don't see very often. It makes you really dig deep and think about your own life and existence. There is such power in its black and white cinematography -- the lighting, framing and timing of shots are perfect. It's one of the best movies I have ever seen. Warning: This is not an action flick. Come expecting samurai battles and you'll be sorely disappointed.

Very intense film. The tension is tangible and the final shots have probably inspired some of the Taxi Driver's shots.
