Harakiri

When his desperate, destitute son-in-law (Akira Ishihama) returns to his sickly wife (Shima Iwashita) and infant son under the direst of circumstances in this classic, suspenseful, black-and-white 1962 Japanese film, a vengeful samurai (Tatsuya Nakadai) in 1630 goes to the home of a feudal lord where he asks permission to perform the ancient rite of hara-kiri in the courtyard.
