I think the key to this one is your relative interest in Mishima. If you're fascinated by his life and work (including his sometimes oddball forays into film), then this one will probably hold your interest. If not then, uh, not. Signature elements: the opening prison assassination sequence (which includes M. showing off his developing physique); the asthmatic hitman; and Mishima's over-the-top escalator death.

Very ambitious performance by the late great Mishima, however the rest of the film sort of slags along the way. Probably didn't help that he took to smacking around Ayako Wakao too seriously.

great film by Japanese New Wave director Yasuzo Masamura, with an inspired performance by the infamous cultural icon Yukio Mishima..
