Hara-kiri: Death of a Samurai

With peaceful times in Edo resulting in wide ronin unemployment, poverty-stricken samurai Hanshiro calls on the House of Ii, seeking a noble end by ritual suicide. Hoping to dismiss the demand, headstrong lord Kageyu recounts the tragic story of another young ronin, forced into an agonizing suicide using a bamboo blade. But in doing so, reveals the horrifying fate of Hanshiro's loyal friend Motome setting in motion a tense showdown of vengeance against his house. An artful remake of Kobayashi's 1963 classic, from legendary filmmaker Takashi Miike and the producer of The Last Emperor, this epic tale of honour and revenge in 17th century Japan stars Kôji Yakusho (13 Assassins, Babel), Kabuki star, Ichikawa Ebizô (Blade of the Immortal), Eita Nagayama (Monster), and Kazuki Namioka (13 Assassins, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift).
