Harakiri

An unemployed veteran ronin arrives at a powerful clan’s estate requesting permission to commit ritual suicide. When the clan’s senior counselor questions his motives and recounts a similar case, the visitor’s calm resolve leads into intertwined stories examining poverty, family, power, and the gap between true honor and hollow tradition.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy morally challenging samurai dramas such as Samurai Rebellion or Throne of Blood; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, frequent action, or straightforward storytelling.
