Descrizione
Paul Schrader’s visually stunning collage-like portrait of the life of Yukio Mishima (played by Ken Ogata). The film investigates the inner turmoil and contradictions of a man who attempted an impossible harmony between himself, art and society. Set on Mishima’s last day, the film is punctuated by long flashbacks to the writer’s life and his work. With sets and costumes by Eiko Ishioka and Philip Glass’s unforgettable soundtrack, the film is a tribute to Mishima, a courageous and creative reconstruction.
