Harakiri (original Japanese title Seppuku) is Masaki Kobayashi’s masterpiece of post-war Japanese cinema, starring Tatsuya Nakadai. The film, which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1963, is widely considered one of the greatest samurai films ever made. This German release poster features bold, stark imagery that mirrors the film’s intense themes of honor, sacrifice, and critique of feudal traditions.
