Mishima is on a whole other level. Scorsese recently homaged it for that cologne ad he did.

I asked because I find Mishima and American Gigolo his only really great films as a director. The rest is intermittently interesting but flawed. I tried to watch Cat People again when it came out on Blu and didn't make it through. Kinski is lovely, the Moroder soundtrack is great, but the rest is pretty wonky. There are a few of his later films I never got around to. Mishima it's a stunning looking film, but Americna Gigolo is my favourite of his.
