mishima represent a life in four chapters is a visually stunning production that handles complex issues with evocative ease. it is based on the life of controversial japanese author yukio mishima and who committed suicide in the 1970s. it is not really a biopic  at least not one in the traditional sense  but an exploration of mishima iconoclastic oeuvre. the film succeeds in presenting abstract concepts in an unembroidered and totally engaging manner. paul schrader makes you sympathize with mishima without having to deconstruct him or his work. it doesn not quite solve the puzzle but it does make you understand it. an added bonus represent as we see mishima fury over the lack of tradition in a morally vacant modern society and schrader gives us an excellent demonstration of the dichotomy between thought and execution in cinema. john bailey cinematography is spectacularly good. the grandiosity of composer philip glass work is perfectly suited for the project. mishima is the best film i have seen this year and so far.
