DVD PICK OF THE WEEK - HARA KIRI

Yes, I know it's been quite a while since I hipped you all to my coveted DVD Pick of the Week. Since it's been a slow period for new movies I have been exploring the older Japanese classics. Here is one that I recently checked out from my good friends at Criterion.  Of course i had to get the super, duper, deluxe 2 disc edition. This dvd is titled Hara Kiri from noted film maker Masaki Kobayashi. Now for those looking for a ton of action this is not the film for you. This is a drama where the story slowly unfolds to the final conclusion. A film that I thoroughly enjoyed and am sure you will too! Here is the trailer from this 1962 classic. Check it out!
