Synopsis:

On November 25th 1970, Yukio Mishima, one of Japan‘s greatest and most celebrated novelists, committed seppuku - the samurai warrior’s death - tearing open his belly with a ceremonial knife inside the Tokyo headquarters of the Japanese Ministry of Defence. What was Mishima truly trying to express through his actions? What did he witness during his final moments? The 1960s saw an international surge of protest against the 1951 Japan-US Security Treaty. Student activism in Japan was also gaining momentum towards social change, with widespread support from farmers and laborers. It was from the ranks of these latter activists that Mishima formed his Tatenokai. Through the film, the late legendary Japanese radical filmmaker Koji Wakamatsu examines his special yet moving history.

日本「四大情色大師」之一若松孝二作品以激進前衛見稱，一是意識大膽的艷情片，二是立場堅挺的政治片。本片是若松孝二從多個角度檢視三島由紀夫當年在日本防衛廳內剖腹自殺的事件，藉此重申作為政治家、思想家必須言行一致。影片以「實錄劇情片」的方式，揭示1970年11月25日當天，三島如何將政變計畫付諸實行，率領自己組織的「楯會」綁架人質，走上陽台吶喊，要「放棄物質文明的墮落，成為真的武士」。井浦新把剖腹諫國的三島由紀夫演得淋漓盡致。
