Excellent, glad to hear that both Dazai and Mishima are being explored in the context of Terayama, he is new to me but I've long adored the other two. Cheers.
There is more of a connection between Mishima and Terayama than Dazai, who was an older figure to someone like Terayama. But yes you should see Terayama's films. Hard to locate, but it does show up on YouTube here and there.
Yes, I much check out his work for sure....I'm also a huge fan of the films of Teshigahara too, especially his Woman in the Dunes, with that haunting Takemitsu score, and have curated his works into programs for Cinematheque.
Terayama is more "underground" than Teshigahara. His films as I mentioned are Fellini-like visually, but very theater-like in its makeup and presentation. There is nothing natural in his work. And yeah, I love Takemitsu's movie soundtrack work.
