Rating: 4/4 --
It would be wrong for me to reveal the details of the story Tsugumo tells. What I can say is that it is heartbreaking.

The film has a steady, hypnotic momentum; the director, Masaki Kobayashi, wrings as much drama out of facial twitches as he does out of sword fights.

New Yorker
Both a thrilling character piece and a scathing take down of authority, Harakiri is a tour-de-force and a compelling look into the facade of institutions.

The Movie Sleuth
The 1962 single masterpiece uses ploys of the written word in picturing the past and/or far away to criticize the present.

ReelTalk Movie Reviews
even if Kobayashi's first period film is an exemplary tale speaking as much to our own times as to Japan's feudal era, it is also a ripping yarn, keeping the viewer gripped with its jigsaw structure and intense performances.

Projected Figures
A masterful chess game, filled with many carefully constructed moves, each arranged to fit in a particular place. It's glorious to behold.

Product Description:
HARAKIRI features more than 300 minutes of gorgeous Japanese vixens outfitted in their best fetish wear performing the ultimate in ritual suicide.
Description by TLA Releasing:
In this perverted series of Japanese suicide films, voluptuous girls wearing a variety of fetishized costumes (such as nurses and schoolgirls) come into a room, find a knife or blade of some sort, slowly remove their tops revealing ample pairs of breasts, fondle themselves for a good bit of time, plunge the knife into their stomachs (and sometimes their breasts too,) letting out a sea of blood and guts as they moan deeply as they are having sex. Then they die. Each vignette plays out like a homemade snuff film. Simple. Perverted. Delicious.
