“Bathed in beautiful exterior and landscape photography, with every view as pretty as a picture.” - DVD Savant
Obsession and fate collide in one of the most controversial, provocative films ever made. The arrival of a rugged American sailor (Kris Kristofferson, PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID) brings joy and sensual fulfillment to an English widow (Sarah Miles), but her young son is disturbed by this new intruder and joins a perverse, violent group of fellow students. With its disturbing ending and frank love scenes, this stylish adaptation of the novel by legendary writer Yukio Mishima has become a timeless classic.
