Wakamatsu Koji, the most heretical and disputable film director in Japanese cinema, insists that he has made films in order to understand what is not understandable occurring in Japan. His filmography includes <United Red Army> (2008), based on the real story of Asama Sanso incident, the tragic self-destruction of the Japanese radical lefts and <Caterpillar> (2010), a critique for militarist nationalism. This time in <MISHIMA>, Wakamatsu’s latest subject is Yukio Mishima, the symbolic icon for Japanese radical right-wings. The film describes the last four years of Mishima; from the day when he organized a right-wing militia to oppose the leftist force, to November 25, 1970 when he called on a rise and committed hara-kiri in Tokyo headquarter of Japan’s Ground Self-Defence Forces.
