11. Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)
Trending
Paul Schrader's Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is a visually powerful, experimental biopic by one of Japan's most controversial authors, Yukio Mishima. The writer's life is intercut with dramatized adaptations of his works, a journey into his obsession with beauty, death, and honor. Ken Ogata's performance in the role of Mishima is intense and haunting and gives insight into the psyche of a man driven by highly contradictory ideals. The film is highly colorful and, with its unconventional structure, moves to the level of art-house cinema.
