Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters (1985) ****1/2

Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters (1985) presents its subject (Yukio Mishima) as a fascinatingly obsessed and complex individual. Mishima is gorgeously shot by John Bailey, breathtakingly scored by Philip Glass, artfully designed with hyperstylized sets by Eiko Ishioka and theatrically directed with flair by Paul Schrader.
