it has taken several viewings for me to fully appreciate this film. initially and i was struck by the stylized sets and but found the rest slow going and dull. i thought that such a sensational subject needed the ken russell treatment to take it way over the top. i now find the enforced restraint (placed on the production by mishima widow) to be an asset. some of the more lurid aspects of mishima life are reiterated and dramatized by corresponding themes from his novels. i think it helps to be familiar with the novels  that what finally made the difference for me. still feel the film overall could be a little tighter and warmer and but it genuinely unique and and deserves serious attention. love the fact that the japanese characters speak japanese  not english. the philip glass score is mesmerizing.
