StoneKeeper's New Year Game: I Recommend THIS Mystery Movie #238 [Harakiri (1962), guessed by FredBurroughs]


So you guys like to play games? Here is an investigation game that can be time consuming but it's lots of fun. Basically, I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guys are going to guess, I will give a hint that CONNECTS your guess with the movie I have in mind.

Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve a love triangle.

- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints, the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 votes on IMDb.


Hint 1: The African Queen (1951) - Setting is outside of the Americas.
Hint 2: The Third Man (1949) - Black and white.
Hint 3: Tokyo Story (1953) - Language in common: Japanese.
Hint 4: Woman in the Dunes (1964) - Runtime at least two hours.
Hint 5: The Face of Another (1966) - Actor in common: Tatsuya Nakadai.

FredBurroughs wins with Harakiri (1962), a magnificent film about the underside of the samurai class system in feudal Japan.

You win! One of my favorite movies of all time, and in my opinion Tatsuya Nakadai's best role (which is saying something).
