Mishima struggled to grab my attention, and the few times it did, it failed to hold it. The biggest roadblock was the film's structure, which repeatedly disrupted emotional engagement and narrative momentum. I can't say this is a bad film, but it wasn't for me.

Absolute TRASH TRASH TRASH TRASH

Really inventive, interesting filmmaking to go along with a weird, fascinating real life story. Loved the use of color and the direction by Schrader was the best I've seen from him.
