Highly recommended. Mishima is one of the most interesting writers in history and this movie definitely does him justice.

Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver) creates an odd hybrid 'meta-bio' of famed Japanese writer who protested westernization of Japan

Moments of pure brilliance, but a little rough around the edges. An overly ambitious film

Shocking, sad, toxic and yet ultimately still beautiful. Mishima is pure lightning in a bottle, a masterpiece unlike anything else.
