"One of the most gorgeous and sophisticated portraits of an artist ever put on film." (The New Yorker) Join us at The Moxie on Wednesday, Sept. 17 @ 7pm for this Must-See visual & lyrical stunner - tickets on sale now. The Essential Arthouse series is Free for Moxie Members. See full list below.
Schrader's visually stunning, collagelike portrait of acclaimed Japanese author and playwright Yukio Mishima (played by Ken Ogata) investigates the inner turmoil and contradictions of a man who attempted an impossible harmony between self, art, and society. With its rich cinematography, exquisite sets, costumes and unforgettable, highly influential score by Philip Glass, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is a tribute to its subject and a bold, investigative work of art in its own right.
