Following the collapse of his clan, unemployed samurai Hanshiro Tsugumo (Tatsuya Nakadai) arrives at the manor of Lord Iyi, begging to commit ritual suicide on his property. Iyi's clansmen, believing the desperate ronin is merely angling for charity, try to force him to eviscerate himself—but they have underestimated his honor and his past. Winner of the 1963 Cannes Film Festival's Special Jury Prize, Masaki Kobayashi’s Harakiri is a scathing denouncement of feudal authority and hypocrisy. Criterion

Dramatically compelling and emotionally intense, Harakiri is a certified classic of Japanese film, and a riveting study of samurai codes of honor. Unlike Kurosawa's rousing samurai epics, this is an uncompromisingly tragic tale, exposing the hypocrisy of 17th-century Japanese society with its story of a family destroyed by the cruelty of feudalism toward warriors in peacetime. (--Jeff Shannon - Editorial Reviews - Amazon.com)

The film is truly Shakespearean in its emotional scope, embodied by the unforgettable performance of Tatsuya Nakadai (star of Kurosawa's Ran) as an elder warrior seeking revenge for the unnecessary seppuku (ritual suicide) of his beloved son-in-law. (--Jeff Shannon - Editorial Reviews - Amazon.com)

Director Masaki Kobayashi begins at story's end, then recounts the narrative (adapted from a novel by Yasuhiko Takiguchi) as told by Nakadai's character. The effect is almost unbearably suspenseful, leading to an explosive climax of supreme defiance and samurai swordplay, erupting from a battle of wills, called bluffs, and hotly defended honor. For connoisseurs of samurai action, Harakiri is not to be missed. (--Jeff Shannon - Editorial Reviews - Amazon.com)

My Thanks, FNB!

Posted By: scalisto Date: 25 Oct 2007 19:18:15

Wow! Four download options and all the rips inverse-telecined! You'll spoil us, FNB47. I have an old rip of Seppuku, but this looks gorgeous. Thanks a million.

Posted By: kharmok Date: 26 Oct 2007 08:49:28

I saw it only once in the 80-ies, and it impressed me a lot! I'm glad you like it as well, so my memory is now comfirmed to be correct! :)

I wanted to publish it, it's on my "I wish to publish these films" list, together with "K(w)aidan", another Kobayashi that impressed me 20 yrs ago.

Many thanks for the many options, specially the DVD one - I only had a 1200Mb file, and this film deserves to be watched on DVD. Thanks again.

Thank you so much FNB47
I love Kobayashi's movies

Posted By: FNB47 Date: 26 Oct 2007 20:09:43

Spr76, I have Becker's "Casque d'or" and I will (gladly) share it. Now I put it in my upload queue which is already full of more than 20 movies and that means it will show up next month.

kharmok, 3rd and last Kobayashi... "Samurai Rebellion"... tomorrow :)

This is the film I wanted to see when it was a new and very much talked about, but could not as I was too young... Now is my chance to see it, thanks to you FNB47.

Thank you for these two beautiful masterpieces. I do have a problem dough!
I only seem to have Turkish and Chinese subs on those two films.
English sub anyone?

Posted By: FNB47 Date: 31 Oct 2007 11:58:06

apolonius, I recommend you to use VLC-player. It is one of the best players and it is free.

Start VLC player and then :
- File - Open File - browse for movie-file
- check "Use a subtitles file" box
- browse for subtitle file (the one with *.idx extension)
- click OK
and when movie starts pls select
- Video
- Subtitle Track - Track 1 or Track 2

A got it on dvd...this is truly one of my favorite movie of all time....

Seppuku is a fine fine movie. There is one scene that is almost impossible to watch, it's very disturbing! Highly recommended.

Thank you very much
