Harakiri review Product Description

Following the collapse of his clan, unemployed samurai Hanshiro Tsugumo (Tatsuya Nakadai) arrives at the manor of Lord Iyi, begging to commit ritual suicide on his property.

One of the Worst movies I have ever seen
This movie was just bad. I had to watch it for my Japan History class and the movie was long and went no where.
