For those who are interested, here is the trailer for Masaki Kobayashi’s 1962 version of Harakiri starring Tatsuya Nakadai. Another JAPAN CUTS connection: Nakadai starred in Haru’s Journey, which was one of the most popular films at this year’s festival. If you want to see that trailer, check it out here.
During this year’s JAPAN CUTS we screened Ninja Kids!!!, one of two movies director Takashi Miike brought to Cannes in May. The other was a 3D-update of the 1962 chambara film, Harakiri. The Japanese language trailer for the Miike remake hit the internet a couple of weeks ago along with a pair of English-subtitled clips. The film wasn’t as warmly received as 13 Assassins, but it still looks great. Ibizo Ichikawa stars.
Kung-Fu Cooking (dir. Cloud Yang), screening as part of our, “Films for Hope” animated shorts series. Sunday, September 11th, 1-7 pm at Japan Society.
