Directed by Lewis John Carlino, novel by YUKIO MISHIMA, Song Composed by KRIS KRISTOFFERSON ("Sea Dream Theme"). TAGLINE : "He gave his soul to the sea and his heart to a woman. Their love will arouse you. The story will disturb you. The ending will startle you" - After his father dies, a disturbed young boy plots to take revenge on the new man in his mother's life. Widowed now for close to four years, Anne Osborne, who now operates the antiques shop formerly owned by her husband David, and their son, Jonathan Osborne, live in a small, English seaside town. Both Anne and Jonathan still miss David even after all these years. Going through puberty, Jonathan uses something he finds in his bedroom to explore the emerging thoughts of sexuality going through his mind. Although Anne knows Jonathan sneaks out of the house early in the morning against her orders, she is unaware that he is attending meetings of a secret society of five boys, who refer to each other only by a cardinal number, their rank within the group as assigned by "The Chief", number one. The Chief is an arrogant, sadistic pseudo-intellectual who needs to show his power and dominance over the other four in whatever means possible. He largely considers them immature as he spouts off his Nietzschean philosophies, centering on that adults create rules that ultimately disrupt the natural order of life. When the US based merchant ship the Belle docks in port, Anne and Jonathan meet Second Officer Jim Cameron. Jonathan, who is fascinated by the sea, becomes enamored with what Jim represents to him, the natural order the Chief speaks of, specifically of the sea. Anne becomes romantically involved with Jim while he is in town. Their encounters lead to Jim critically evaluating his life and future. As Jonathan believes Jim may be attempting to disrupt that natural order he so admires, Jonathan believes it is his duty to change Jim back to restore that natural order, and if that is not possible, to correct the impending disorder by whatever means necessary. CAST includes Kris Kristofferson, Sarah Miles, Jonathan Kahn, Earl Rhodes, Margo Cunningham, Juba Kennerley. VIEWER COMMENT : "The film, with all its brilliantly evocative atmosphere, excellent performances, and quietly brooding menace creates a drama that is both disturbingly dramatic and terrifyingly erotic. Director Lewis John Carlino in his feature film debut, conjures "magic" throughout the film, a remarkable experience, and one that any viewer is unlikely to ever forget." BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : To publicize this movie, Kris Kristofferson and Sarah Miles did a nude layout together in Playboy magazine, assuming sexual positions that were pretty graphic for that magazine. Kristofferson said he was drunk while posing for them. Kristofferson was married at the time to singer Rita Coolidge. When she saw the "Playboy" layout, she divorced him, though this was largely due to his physical abuse of her during their brief marriage. First English translated film of written work by the legendary Japanese writer and martial artist, YUKIO MISHIMA. The film was made and released about thirteen years after its source novel "Gogo no Eiko" by Yukio Mishima had been first published in 1963. The book was first translated into English by John Nathan about two years later in 1965 - around eleven years before this film. YUKIO MISHIMA Mini Bio : Born January 14, 1925 · Tokyo, Japan Birth name Kimitaké Hiraoka; Adult Height 5′ 1″ / Died November 25, 1970 · Tokyo, Japan (suicide). - Yukio Mishima was born in Tokyo in 1925. He attended the University of Tokyo. His first work of fiction, a short story, was published when he was a first-year student. For the rest of his life he wrote - to enormous popular and critical acclaim - plays, poetry, essays, and novels. His first full-length novel, the autobiographical "Confessions of a Mask," is considered a classic of modern Japanese fiction. In it, a young man grapples with his homosexuality, the intensity of his inner states, the ways he must conceal himself, and the difficulties of not conforming to Japanese society. Mishima, educated in Japan and deeply influenced by European and Russian literature, developed his consuming obsession: a longing for unvanquished, imperial Japan; its samurai traditions, and heroic ideals of beauty, nationalism, and honor, including the traditionally enviable fate of dying for one's country. Mishima led by example. Along with writing energetically and passionately, he founded an elite right-wing organization for 100 males, the Shield Society, dedicated to 'Bushido,' the Samurai code of honor. Mishima became an expert in traditional martial arts, despaired of modern Japan and bemoaned the post-war suppression of its traditional past. Control - of the self, of art and of society - was of the utmost importance to Mishima. On travel, Mishima wrote in "Mask" : "...at no time are we ever in such complete possession of a journey, down to its last nook and cranny, as when we are busy with preparations for it. After that, there remains only the journey itself, which is nothing but the process by which we lose our ownership of it. This is what makes travel so utterly fruitless." Twenty-six years later, Mishima, intense and disturbed as ever, and in complete 'possession' of his life, committed suicide in a shocking and internationally-reported public event. He was forty-five.
