Synopsis

Paul Schrader’s homage to the great, doomed Japanese author Yukio Mishima is told in great, mad, colorful sequences that depict stories from Mishima’s oeuvre and which contrast with the realistic sequences that show the troubled Mishima’s conflicted life and death. A startling, ambitious project that has come to be appreciated as one of the best films of its era.
