Disons-le tout net, voilÃ un chef d'oeuvre. Produit par George Lucas et Francis Ford Coppola, rÃ©alisÃ© par Paul Schrader (scÃ©nariste de Scorsese, entre autres choses), ce film est une gifle. Soutenue par la partition exceptionnelle de Philip Glass (un CD Ã possÃ©der absolument), la mise en scÃ¨ne associe 3 styles incarnant la vie de l'Ã©crivain japonais : classique pour la fatidique journÃ©e du 25 novembre 1970 (suicide de Mishima), en N/B pour les scÃ¨nes de son enfance, de son adolescence et de sa vie d'homme, thÃ©Ã¢tre filmÃ© pour illustrer 4 romans majeurs : Le Pavillon d'Or, la Maison de Kyoko, Chevaux EchappÃ©s, et le Soleil et l'Acier. Disponible un temps en DVD zone 1, le film est un curieux mÃ©lange de voix off franÃ§aise (une voix envoÃ»tante, d'ailleurs) et de dialogues en japonais. Il a remportÃ© en 1985 le prix de la meilleure contribution artistique Ã Cannes, et l'originalitÃ© de la mise en scÃ¨ne, d'une rare modernitÃ©, confirme que cette rÃ©compense n'Ã©tait pas volÃ©e.

Graced with a throbbing orchestral score from Philip Glass and John Bailey’s luminous photography, this is appropriately monumental filmmaking.

A visual feast to the eyes. Excellent soundtrack by Philip Glass.

Ken Ogata plays my favorite author, Mishima, showcasing him in a variety of different lights. Beautiful film.

I'm amazed that movie like this even got made, Schrader's unconvential and innovative biopic of controversial Japanese author/poet/playwright Yukio Mishima is practically a miracle. Rather than just tell a straight-up story of Mishima's life, Schrader opts to intercut the movie with dramatizations of Mishima's fiction in regards to how they fit in with his life and philosophy, as well as show the audience episodes from his growth as an artist. What ultimately springs forth is a film about the essence of Mishima's philosophy of attempting to find a harmony between self, art, and society, and how a passionate artist struggled to achieve this unattainable goal. Anyone who slags on Paul Schrader as a director is someone who I'm guessing hasn't seen this film. I'm still shocked that a movie like this was made with Hollywood money. See it.
