3) Harakiri
Trending
Masaki Kobayashi's Harakiri is a powerful, tragic story about honor and revenge, challenging the old-time bushido code. An alienated samurai in feudal Japan wants to die nobly by committing self-immolation in a nobleman's house but brings out the hypocrisy and corruption that lie behind the code of the samurai. This deconstruction of loyalty and nobility of sacrifice stretches the samurai genre into a film that interlaces psychological tension with political commentary.
