Review of Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985) by Stephen E — 28 Apr 2013
On a visual level, "Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters" is a success because of John Bailey's able cinematography, Philip Glass's musical genius, Eiko Ishioka's innovative production design and Paul Schrader's excellence as a director.
"Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters" is a technical triumph and about as original as films get. The narrative (which focuses on the past and final day of famed novelist Yukio Mishima as well as visual representations of his work) is engaging and is brought to life with superb directorial skill by Paul Schrader, who will always remain one of the unsung heroes of his generation.
