Review For Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai
Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai reveals yet another facet of this always-unpredictable filmmaker: a flair for compassionate, humane melodrama. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald A quiet, narratively layered period drama with a focus squarely on character. Barbara VanDenburgh-Arizona Republic Miike can't seem to get enough of Hanshiro's heroics. That's not just visual excess, though. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe A 3-D epic that, despite its title, is more of a soap opera than a swordplay thriller. V.A. Musetto-New York Post It's an indelible picture of a cold-hearted ruling class that has allowed self-interest and hypocrisy to override its own humanity. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News Miike brings a formal, elegant restraint to his usual flair for wild theatrics. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times HK:DOAS is a beautifully artistic, yet unflinching revenge film; distorted by unnecessary 3D and 45 minutes of additional runtime. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show A cinematic work of art, presenting a world in which humanity is banished in favour of the rituals of an ever-warring people Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile It's not about Bushido, it's about its representation. Walter Chaw-Film Freak Central Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai is another solid rather than flamboyant film from Japan's master of extreme Takashi Miike. Beth Accomando-KPBS.org Hara-Kiri may be a lesser Miike work, but it's still a (literally) gutsy exercise in prolonged narrative recursiveness. Marc Savlov-Austin Chronicle Miike's remake is actually less intense than the original. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid Pointless 3D, and with the way the story was told, there were no surprises. It does however feature the most horrific suicide I've watched on film. Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review In turn, cruel, savage, humane, joyful and finally devastating and visually transcendent. Originally in 3-D. James Verniere-Boston Herald The tragedy Miike aims for somehow eludes him within these under-lit interiors and shooting through netting that often blurs facial expressions Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com The movie is tellingly named after the blunt, informal term for the ritual (hara-kiri means "cut belly") and effectively deglorifies these "honorable" ritual suicides. Miles Bowe-Boston Phoenix A worthy remake of the 1962 classic at just the right time, given the authoritarianism that led to the Fukushima disaster. Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews There are many more enlightening and entertaining films out there about ancient Japanese traditions that are far more deserving of your time.
