Writer-director Paul Schrader's films are always as memorable for their music as they are for their visuals--sometimes more so. Think of Giorgio Moroder's synthesizers pulsing through Cat People; think of Blondie's anthem for American Gigolo; think of Scott Johnson's remarkable score for Patty Hearst--and think of the full suite of music composed by Philip Glass for Schrader's ode to the deeply conflicted Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima. With its gilded, impressionistic set and its plot-eschewing cinematic vision, Mishima depended upon Glass's compositions for grounding. Despite the Japanese setting, the music is pan-global, typical of Glass's genre-absorbing minimalist style. A standout track is "Osamu's Theme," which features a catchy rock & roll guitar part against a string setting. And the album's quartets feature none other than the Kronos Quartet. --Marc Weidenbaum
This is the greatest Philip Glass film soundtrack. His qatsi trilogy is great, but ver minimal. This soundtrack, he uses every instrument at his disposal. The drums in the opening November 25: Morning sets that stage that these men have made their choice to commit the coup. The fun and uplifting guitar in Kyoko's house only for it to take the turn into the more darker tone of the relationship portrayed in the film. Then the ultimate finally where Mishima would take his own life. To clear the air, it doesn't glorify suicide. On the contrary, you feel the pain and sadness splashed on the canvas of this film and the soundtrack.
