Seppuku: The Sun Goes Down Synopsis
Kakizaki Yuji’s period film is not like the jidaigeki films we are used to. While it deals with themes of seppuku, duty, and loyalty to one’s masters and the shogun, we see very little in terms of action. Instead, the film focuses on the inner thoughts and struggles of the protagonist—who is ordered to perform a ritual suicide—his wife, and their entire household, all leading up to the final moment.
Seppuku: The Sun Goes Down (2026) is a drama and history film directed by Yuji Kakizaki, released on September 30, 2026 with a runtime of 2h 13m. It stars Yuka Takeshima, Masayuki Deai, Yasuyuki Maekawa and Ema Fujisawa.
