Movie about a ronin who contradicts himself by proving honour is more than just a facade. In avenging his family, Hanshiro reveals the transience of happiness and the immortality of honour and shame. Cinematographic masterpiece, leaving little to be desired but for its inability to hold suspense throughout.

This was an incredible enjoyable movie, the acting and how the story is told is really remarkable. You slowly get into the story and understand the characters, and then the reveals come and you don’t even see when it hits you. A must watch.

The facade of the samurai code has been reborn as Japan's famously exploitative work ethic. Kobayashi's cycle of history is doomed to repeat itself.

I've seen this film pitched as a samurai action film and as a satire-- while it does provide commentary on samurai culture, I would call it more of a cautionary tale than a satire, and while it does have some fighting and gore, I wouldn't consider it an action film. It wasn't my cup of tea, but was well executed. I would recommend it to avid film critics and fans of Japanese culture.

Grinding. Grueling. Masterfully composed and years ahead of its contemporaries. In the end, Harakiri stands as a single-issue film -- an unflinching morality tale about the follies of bushido that just isn't pleasant to watch.
Jan 02, 2020	glumpy_99	89 _76%
A gripping and powerful slow-burn is perhaps a little too slowly paced in its first half, but once the narrative-within-a-narrative kicks in, it's emotional dynamite, with Kobayashi's stark and careful framing the perfect contrast to an ugly story of the hypocrisy of the samurai code. Finale explosion into violence is one of the great blow-offs of tension in any film; powerfully and movingly performed by the entire cast.
