Harakiri (1962) - Vintage Cinema Rewind

What this episode covers

On VCR’s first foreign vintage movie we went back to 1962 with one of Kobayashi’s best, Harakiri. This gut-wrenching, or rather spilling, film explores what happens when honorable and code bound Samurai lose everything and become Ronin. We had a lot of fun viewing and discussing this one; everything from the filmography and story telling, to the characters and soundtrack is boiled down to the simplest and most powerful levels of contrast. Check out the discussion below! Where to watch: Harakiri - movie: where to watch streaming online (justwatch.com)
