HARAKIRI (Masaki Kobayashi) 1962
stills from Masters of Cinema’s UK Blu-ray of Masaki Kobayashi’s samurai masterpiece, which is among the very best examples of jidaigeki you’re ever likely to find. it’s pretty simple: you either love this movie, or you haven’t seen this movie.
Criterion’s DVD of the film has been out for a few years, now, and their Blu-ray upgrade hits on October 4 (alongside SALO - great double-feature!).
