“MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR. LAWRENCE plays even better today. Bowie is superb, as is Ryuichi Sakamoto, whose evocative soundtrack is one of the best ever to grace a motion picture. It’s time for you to discover Ôshima.”
—The Guardian

In this narrative departure from cinematic provocateur Nagisa Ôshima’s earlier works, he tells the story of four men in a Japanese POW camp during World War II. David Bowie stars as a recalcitrant prisoner whose experiences in the camp trigger memories of earlier guilt. In 35mm.
