Movie Summary: A fictional account of the life of Japanese author Yukio Mishima, combining dramatizations of three of his novels and a depiction of the events of November 25th, 1970.
Queer Film LA Says: Yukio Mishima's estate didn't let Paul Schrader do more than hint at the homosexuality of the controversial Japanese writer turned right-winger, but Mishima's writings were deeply interwoven with gay themes and characters.
