About
You can stream Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.
A fictional account of the life of Japanese author Yukio Mishima, combining dramatizations of three of his novels and a depiction of the events of November 25th, 1970.
Stunningly surreal, this biopic fractures reality by blending theatrical reenactments of prose with the cold facts of a failed coup. Every frame pulses with a hyper-stylized, neon intensity that mirrors the author's own obsession with beauty and death.
