The last season of classic movie nights at the cinema “Kino Bize” will be dedicated to Japanese cinema. In introducing the program, from September 27 to 29, director Masaki Kobayashi’s excellent and humanistic masterpiece “Harakiri” will be shown in three screens. On Saturday evening pl. 18:00 before the opening remarks of the curator of the screening program Mārs Promberg.
This is not only a masterpiece of Japanese cinema from the period of the late 1950s to the early 1960s, but one of the most recognizable films in the history of world cinema, which in 1963 it received a special jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Palme d’Or for best film.
The film opens with the samurai Hanshiro Tsugumo and his unusual request when he arrives at the Iji clan house. Society has changed dramatically in peacetime, and unemployment among ex-servicemen is increasing. Hanshiro Tsugumo, without food or sustenance, wants to commit ritual harakiri suicide in the courtyard of the house. It turns out that this is not such an unusual request in this period. The house has received similar requests in the past, but the intentions of other samurai were not always honorable.

Friday, September 27, at 19:00;
