This grim and exquisite film explores the honor in death and the death of honor venerated by the 17th-century samurai. After an unemployed samurai is forced to commit ritual suicide before a feudal lord, his father-in-law returns to the scene, seemingly to commit the same act. Instead this warrior acts out against the cruelly rigid society that enforces such harsh discipline. In Japanese with English subtitles. Masaki Kobayashi---Japan---1962---135 mins.
