Love Philip Glass. Gave Mishima much-deserved airplay on my one radio show back in the day.

I saw #Mishima - A Life In Four Parts when it was shown on UK tv in the late 80s. I was spellbound by it. Made by director Paul Schrader - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Schrader it is unlike any film I had seen.
It must have been the first time I'd heard Philip Glass music. I found the line when one of the characters in a film within the film sees the Golden Temple for the first time ("It's too beautiful") almost unbearable, which is intentional. It's a demanding watch but worth it.
“There is no special right to happiness and none to unhappiness. There is no tragedy and there is no genius. Your confidence and your dreams are groundless. If there is on this earth something exceptional, special beauty or special evil, nature finds it out and uproots it.”
