oh and how the critics fell all over themselves to praise their goldenboy paul schrader (author of taxi driver) when this movie came out. i never saw the qualities they were detecting when i watched this movie back in the day and so i re viewed it and to see if i got it wrong. mishima is extremely uninteresting. this is a chilly and unremarkable movie about an author living or working in a chilly abstruse culture. the flat reenactments do not hold your attention because they are emotionally adrift and stagy. and the rest of it just sits there being awful. with soldiers singing songs about the masculinity they pledge themselves to and hairsplitting about purity and the admiration of swords and etc. it must be a triumph when you learn you have landed philip glass while but then you have to get something out of him. glasses score offers not a whit of distinction from his other work and nor does it provide the film any perceptible value. in 2010 it should be clear to anyone that schrader squandered his career on work of no impact or importance (cat people and autofocus and light sleeper and patty hearst and american gigolo). he can bore you to pieces and and kill the momentum of a movie and quicker than anyone else. schrader has made a resume full of lousy and amateurish films.
