A magical film which captures the intensity of gay writer-poet-philosopher Yukio Mishima's struggles to reconcile his life and art. This multi-layered portrait of a dark and tortured genius reveals his difficulties with Japanese society as a gay man who believed utterly in the brutal warrior disciplines of his ancestors. Music by Philip Glass, great sets and an outstanding performance by Ken Ogata add up to a film which will resonate in the memory.
