Star by Yukio Mishima

3.0

A snapshot into the life of an unhappy and disillusioned movie star

Well written though the characters were a bit unlikable but written that way unapologetically in a way you don't often see.

Talks of the futility of showbusiness and the attitude of those within it, the mechanical nature of filmmaking in contrast to the heavily emotive output, the idea of dying young ... So many ideas covered so succinctly!
