MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS

Details

• Release Year: 1985
• Genre: Drama, Foreign
• Plot: On November 25, 1970, an abortive attempt to overthrow the japanese government led to the ritual suicide of a writer who cast a global shadow. He was Yukio Mishima, Japan's finest postwar author, and a tortured modern man struggling to find his future in his homeland's imperial past.; ; Paul Schrader's haunting , lyrical Mishima: ALife in Four Chapters vividly depicts this most paradoxical of men, at ease in Western ways but reinvetning himself in the militarism of feudal Japan. The film's visual style shifts between a documentary like recreation of Mishima's last day, black and white flashbacks of his early years and intoxicatingly colorful episodes from three of his novels. The result is a true cinematicoriginal: an unforgettable portrait of snsual and intellectual passion.
