Hi all,<br><br>Takashi Miike's Hara-Kiri (Ichimei) will be screened at Cannes in few days. It seems to be based on the original book, Takiguchi's Ibun ronin ki (so not a remake per se?). Which was first adapted into film in 1962. While trying to find out what are the differences between the book, and the film version(s), I've discovered a thesis written on this subject, called "Film adaptations of written narrative : Kobayashi's Seppuku and Takiguchi's Ibun ronin ki". <br>
<br>Seems to be worth reading, do you know how to contact the author of this work (Andy Nakatani -- <a href="http://opac.sfsu.edu/search/?searchtype=X&searcharg=kobayashi+seppuku">see this link</a>)? Or how to read this work?<br>
<br>That could be helpful, later, cf. Miike's film (written by Yamagishi).<br><br>Thanks,<br><br clear="all">Michael<br><a href="http://wildgrounds.com">http://wildgrounds.com</a><br>
