MISHIMA: A Story in Four Chapters

Dark and crappy picture of Andrew and I meeting Paul Schrader.  We had just finished watching a screening of Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, which Schrader wrote and directed.   Paul Schrader is more known for his work on Taxi Driver.


The film itself is a dark master piece based on the life and work of Japanese writer Yukio Mashima. It interweaves episodes from Mishima's life and dramatizations of segments from his books/plays.  With a film score by Philip Glass, this film is hauntingly beautiful.
