Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)

The film provides a highly stylized and psychological exploration of Yukio Mishima's life, art, and extreme right-wing nationalism, presenting his motivations and the tragic culmination of his ideals without explicitly endorsing or condemning his political ideology. Its neutrality stems from its objective, albeit artistic, portrayal of a complex and controversial figure.

The movie features an entirely Japanese cast, accurately reflecting its historical and cultural setting, which inherently provides diversity from a global perspective without engaging in explicit DEI-driven recasting of traditionally white roles. The narrative explores the complex life and philosophy of its Japanese subject, focusing on cultural and national identity without explicitly critiquing traditional Western identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
