"YUKOKU" by Yukio Mishima Pt.1 of 3- Original Score by Aaron Embry

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!
Mr. E.

Thank you, its really hard to find, how ever there are other Mishima's movies based on his books or even with him acting just like this one. Thank you again

awesome!

very moving and simultaniously frightening, perfect. watching this feels like looking into a dark reality few are aware of even exists. the newly given soundtrack gives it an ethereal quality.

Mishima was a little nutty, however, it's an honorable way to go.

I've studied Japanese 'death poetry' in great depth....very inspiring.

Making Seppuku look nice huh

Superbe composition d'Aaron Embry

@ainhoator, You are right, that is the same feeling i get. Maybe it is beacause we know the real outcome and watches the private preparations/meditation/traini­ng for it? And considering the authors private background, especially as a small child as it is told to us, it gives it even a more heartbreaking, worry:ing feeling, at least when you are a mother, as i am.

he's more well-suited to be a film director.

the transition from 6:48 to 6:51 and 3:14 to 3:16 is immaculate - a perfect perspectival space. in closer look, this is highly influenced by the history of linear perspective. i love how artists explore this idea in their works, it is in some sense more "experimental" than most of the "experimental art' out there

however i thought the film would be more interesting in silence.

really love the music on the background. Quite eerie and well-suited for this one. It gives another dimension to the whole movie from a minimalist perspective. What is the source of the piece? Also, What is that english scribble to start with? I wish you would never play with the original entry. Thanks for posting, though.

Mishima is one of my favourite japanese writers.
