From Japanese yakuza-meister Tadeo Miike, a brilliant, emotional samurai epic, "Hara-Kiri: The death of a

Samurai."
This is a must film for Japanese film lovers; it also represents a real step forward by the talented, hard-to-pigeonhole and very prolific Miike.
It is the post-samurai era where great houses are falling, peace is reigning, and large numbers of samurai are cut free, forced into starvation by the lack of retainers. Some are driven to approaching the great houses, asking for permission to disembowel themselves (an honorable death as opposed to the non-violent one of slowly starving to death) on their hallowed grounds, yet hoping instead to be given alms. The practice became common and, to some, these "bluffing samurai" became objects of contempt.
Into such a turbulent world is thrown a very young samurai whose world recently has been overturned by looming tragedy.
