Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai (一命 Ichimei?) is a 2011 Japanese 3D drama film directed by Takashi Miike. It was produced by Jeremy Thomas and Toshiaki Nakazawa, who previously teamed with Miike on 2010's 13 Assassins. The film is a 3D remake of Masaki Kobayashi's 1962 film Harakiri.
It premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, the first 3D film to do so.The Village Voice's Michael Atkinson praised it describing it as "a melodramatic deepening and a grisly doubling-down of Kobayashi's great original." Composer and pop star Ryuichi Sakamoto wrote the original score.
