Yukio Mishima was one of the most prolific and celebrated writers that ever lived, and this is his only film. It is also a disturbing example of life imitating art since it depicts a gruesome act of HaraKiri that Mishima himself would re-enact four years after filming, forgoing pig-guts for the theatrical glory of his own.
In the original version of the film the musical score is program music by Wagner off a crackly old 78, but I've taken it upon myself to desecrate this fine piece of classic cinema and re-score the entire film with original music.
I hope you enjoy it!

It's surprising he didn't film his actual suicide, given that he was quite an exhibitionist and obsessing with the intersection of death and beauty and art and action etc.. I suspect he was afraid that he'd flinch or someone would fuck it up like that kid who failed to decapitate him.

三島の短足・胴長・・・ まぁ、日本人的といえば、これほど日本人的なものはないのかも・・・

I had no idea Mishima did this. It's really good. It kinda reminds me of Eraserhead.

元旦に見てしまった。原作は超えることが三島をもってして難しかったのだと感じる。 いくら仕事とはいえ、肌を合わせた真面目そうな女優さん...自決した時は、さぞかしSHOCKだったろうと想像する。もう、この美しい肌に皺が幾多とよりながら、きれいに年を重ねた老女になっていると思う...。
