Synopsis: Harakiri (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]
Product Description
Following the collapse of his clan, an unemployed samurai (Ran's 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 a new position, try to force him to eviscerate himself— but they have underestimated his beliefs and his personal brand of honor. Winner of the 1963 Cannes Film Festival's Special Jury Prize, Harakiri, directed by Masaki Kobayashi (The Human Condition) is a fierce evocation of individual agency in the face of a corrupt and hypocritical system.

And as always with Criterion, the image quality and extras are unparalleled. But there is one major problem that existed in their DVD release and still exists in the Blu-ray edition: the sides have been cropped by about 10% total. See DVDBeaver for several side-by-side comparisons (particularly, the scene in which Chijiiwa is seated in a white robe, surrounded by clan members - one guy on the left is cropped out, destroying the composition of the scene). I have also added two comparison images to the Amazon Product photo gallery at the top of this page. It appears that only the Masters of Cinema Blu-ray edition has the right composition, but unfortunately the detail appears to be slightly lacking compared to Criterion. Hopefully Criterion will realize this problem and correct it...

Certainly the only one of its kind that I've ever seen. More drama than action- more style in the fight scenes- more story than others of its kind, if there are others of its kind. A samurai goes to see a fuedal lord, ostensibly to get permission to commit hara kiri in his courtyard. The samurai then begins to tell a story.... The black and white is stark and perfect for this film. The blu-ray looks fantastic. Great extras- great story- great film. Kobayashi was one of Japans' greatest film makers. Just get it. 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Best Japanese film ever., Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Harakiri (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) This movie blew me away! It's an extremely tense, well-written revenge story. Tatsuya Nakadai ( the main character, Tsugumo Hanshiro) delivers an Oscar worthy performance. If you love Japanese cinema, you NEED to own this film. This blu ray seems to be a pretty good quality as well. It looks and sounds great on my tv. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! |
