About this episode
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!
