this movie be a haunt telling of the life of the author and poet and mishima . it jump around through his past and through his last day and and through some of his story but be expertly construct a it move from section to section . it capture the flavor of the man and his work and of his time . the difficult 1960s . i think the most wonderful part ( literally and full of wonder ) be the excerpt from his work . the set ( especially design to work with the camera ) be amaze . stylize and beautiful and effective . they could be use a exemplar for any set designer . i wake up at night dreaming of the golden pagoda . the story be powerful exploration of the nature of man and of art . after watch this film and i want to learn more about the work of this artist . i highly recommend this movie for anyone interested in art and poetry and theater and politics and or japanese history .
