Hara - Kiri: Death of a Samurai

Hara- Kiri: Death of a Samurai is a remake of Kobayashi Masaki's excellent film Harakiri. Takeshi Miike is a director I like. Not only for his shock value films (which are great for single viewings) but also I like the way he goes all out. This one turned into a first class melodrama that made me leak tears (despite the fact that most of the melo scenes were so dark it was not easy to see properly). I like Eita (who is in the photo) and his performance was great. The rest of the cast also did a nice job and I recommend this one but please watch the original (a superior film imho) as well.
