Hara-Kiri (3D)

[M S]

Hi all,

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".

Seems to be worth reading, do you know how to contact the author of this
work (Andy Nakatani -- see this
link<http://opac.sfsu.edu/search/?searchtype=X&searcharg=kobayashi+seppuku>)?
Or how to read this work?

That could be helpful, later, cf. Miike's film (written by Yamagishi).

Thanks,

Michael
