So I Finally Saw:Masaki Kobayashi-HARAKIRI

[cranberries fan]

Right off the bat this flim is Flawless-Perfect and I would say it on par with Kurosawa's Seven Samurai for flim greatest.
I loved Tatsuya Nakadail (from RAN) and the other actors were just fantasic.
Well enough from me anyone else feel the same way about this movie?
And I love watching Samurai Rebellion.

But now should I see Masaki Kobayashi Kwaidan (Ghost Stories)?

I was really impressed with the film. Probably my favorite samurai flick and a masterpiece in its own right.

[Arpeggi]

Kwaidan is awesome. Make sure you check out the uncut version (Criterion version is cut)

[cranberries fan]

Thanks for info and do you know how much is missing in the Criterion version?

Awesome movie. The scene where the samurai has to commit harikiri with a dull blade is a classic. Heck, the whole movie's a classic.

[Dr Mabuse]

excellent film...
