Critics consensus

“Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai adds an atypically restrained entry to the Takashi Miike filmography that loses little impact in favoring human drama over action.”

Hara-Kiri may be a lesser Miike work, but it's still a (literally) gutsy exercise in prolonged narrative recursiveness.

A quiet, narratively layered period drama with a focus squarely on character.

Miike can't seem to get enough of Hanshiro's heroics. That's not just visual excess, though.
