Amazing crowd last night for the classic samurai flick HARAKIRI. Up next is the hilarious yet touching HAROLD AND MAUDE.

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.
