I meet a surprising number of Kris Kristofferson fans who have yet to see The Sailor Who Feel From Grace With The Sea, the 1976 film based on the 1963 novel by Yukio Mishima. Part Love Story, part A Clockwork Orange, The Sailor Who Fell From Grace... is a double-sided story of a lonesome sailor (Kristofferson) who falls in love with a widow, and her son, who at first idolizes the sudden father-figure in his life, but succumbs to the influence of his fellow schoolmates and soon plots to do him in. Schizophrenic film-making at its very best.
