What Harakiri is about
Down-on-his-luck veteran Tsugumo Hanshirō enters the courtyard of the prosperous House of Iyi. Unemployed, and with no family, he hopes to find a place to commit seppuku—and a worthy second to deliver the coup de grâce in his suicide ritual. The senior counselor for the Iyi clan questions the ronin’s resolve and integrity, suspecting Hanshirō of seeking charity rather than an honorable end. What follows is a pair of interlocking stories which lay bare the difference between honor and respect, and promises to examine the legendary foundations of the Samurai code.

How Cini scores Harakiri
Star ratings flatten everything into the same 7-or-8. Cini does it differently: instead of asking how many stars Harakiri deserves, it asks which films you liked more. A few quick head-to-head comparisons slot Harakiri into your personal ranking, and its score out of 10 comes from where it actually lands for you — then Cini predicts how much you'll like what you haven't seen yet.
