Amazing crowd last night for the classic samurai flick HARAKIRI. Up next is the hilarious yet touching HAROLD AND MAUDE.
March 29, 2025 at 4:35 PM
A mesmerizing, often brutal, but thoroughly compulsive film, HARAKIRI (1962) manages to elevate the usually pulpy Japanese chambara, or samurai, genre into something approaching high art.

"All of my pictures are concerned with resisting an entrenched power. That's what HARAKIRI is about." -- Masaki Kobayashi

@cinesackville.bsky.social has been on a roll this fall. It's been a highlight of my year to make posters for them.
I got a wonderful Christmas gift from some friends at our Tibbs Eve party last night (yes, I know, it's early). So happy to have caught this movie for the first time this year as it is now an absilute favourite. Poster designed by @patrickallaby.bsky.social for @cinesackville.bsky.social
