*SPOILER* the bit where it says "he became the ultimate expression of his art" refers to the ending when the space aliens are revealed to have been behind everything. - @Friday, August 31, 2018 5:37 PM

Hard to believe an american director who wrote one of the most appreciated and timeless masterpieces who influenced years before and years from now made (Taxi Driver in case you were wondering) then he made this foreign film. That man never needed to make film again I don't believe. - @Friday, August 24, 2018 1:08 PM

Is it actually a decent watch for a regular guy like me, or is it more artsy-fartsy and only appreciated by people who fancy themselves as high-brow? - @Thursday, March 24, 2016 12:33 PM

@tapesan09 If by "did" you meant "directed," Martin Scorsese "did" Taxi Driver and The Last Temptation of Christ. Schrader wrote both but didn't direct them. Also, The Last Temptation is an adaptation of a book by the same name. However, both of those films are amazing and I look forward to seeing this one as well. - @Monday, March 14, 2011 12:00 AM

MISSIMA, IS ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE WORKS OF SCHRADER COMBING NOT ONLY NARRATIVE AND THEMATICAL APPROACHES BUT ALSO FORMAL ONE TO DRIVE THE VIEWER INTO THE IMAGE. SERIUS ATTENTION AT THOSE WILL REVEAL A DIFFERENT PAUL. - @Saturday, December 4, 2010 1:11 PM
