The Criterion Collection. Set in 17th-century Japan, director Makaki Kobayahi's Harakiri stars Nakadai as masterless samurai Hanshiro Tsugumo. Arguably Kobayashi's masterpiece, this savage attack on the hypocrisy, cowardice, cruelty and ultimate emptiness of the institution of the samurai warrior features one of Nakadai's greatest performances as the disturbingly intense swordsman.
