Thirty five years after all original prints of the film were purposefully destroyed, playwright and novelist
Yukio Mishima's eerily prophetic tale of a disgraced naval officer who commits seppuku (ritual suicide} resurfaces thanks to a print struck from the original negative. Co-directed by
Domoto Masaki, the film marked
Mishima's sole foray into filmmaking, and serves as an unsettling prediction of the writer's own suicide.
