Mishima - Philip Glass [1985]



Check out illuminating, if scarily intense, 80s pundit's précis-ed and precise lowdown. Glass's score drives the art-action forward and interweaves dialectics: past-present, fact-fiction, art-real life, sword-pen. Best constructed and designed movie of the designer decade. Excerpts will be familiar from wide TV & advertising sampling. Experienced here like some enormous music. Sometimes stage blood is not enough.

man this movie was fuckin' balls. i forget the music, but the movie was way long and way boring. the frequent use of green/violent together was the only positive memory i have from it.

but while i'm posting thanks for all the sweet music, man. i can always find good weirdness here.
