Description: Further DetailsTitle: Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (The Criterion Collection)Condition: NewDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Paul Schrader's visually stunning, collagelike portrait of the acclaimed Japanese author and playwright Yukio MISHIMA (played by Ken Ogata) investigates the inner turmoil and contradictions of a man who attempted the impossible task of finding harmony among self, art, and society.
