Almost 40 yrs in business, it seems clear film making/screenwriting is his passion. He wrote many articles in film magazines and books about Japanese films.
A great article on how PS came into Martin Scorsese projects

He wrote Obsession for Brian De Palma && Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ & Bringing Out the Dead for Martin Scorsese && The Mosquito Coast for Peter Weir.
I had seen American Gigolo not knowning the director and this season I saw
Cat People - interesting remake of 1942 movie with same writers.
Affliction- a good drama (won Oscar)
I liked the way the events progressed in Dominion (Exorcist prequel)
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters ( Music by Philip Glass)
Semi-Documentary style - Auto Focus
The Canyons - not sure if this was made along the lines of "Mishima and Auto Focus", but couldn't appreciate it.
Though his movies fall is so varied genres, I feel his life events and situations reflects/manifests in his works. Somehow it seems to tend towards artists who live with a different taste/cause and both succeed and fail in it.
