DVD: Seppuku / Harakiri

Post by Maka »

Hello UY fans,

I've talked about this movie being one of my favorite japanese films.

The UY "The Pride of the Samurai" story line in Fathers and Sons GN reminded me of this movie.

But I love how the story develops of this film and the dutch tilts (Like old Batman TV show without being corny).

Here's the review on DVDtalk.com

I first saw this film in a Japanese film studies course in college. The

Rent it, I don't think you will be disappointed.

On another note, I did finally rented "The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi (2004)." It was entertaining, but my favorite parts were the workers banging that makes up the soundtrack and the tap dance scene at the end. That was really cool.

Peace,

maka
