11.25 The Day He Chose His Own Fate

Fantasia '12 Interesting but antiseptic take on the final four years of Mishima's life. Wakamatsu attempts to document the man and not the artist like Schrader did back in '85. The film is cold and calculated in tone, colour and content. One feels Mishima well captured here but hard to understand his passion and beliefs with the limited information provided.
