Additional Information
MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR LAWRENCE was the first English-language project of Japanese director Nagisa Oshima (Death by Hanging, In the Realm of the Senses). In tune with his previous filmic essays on racism and brutality, Merry Christmas concentrates on a war of wills between rebellious POW David Bowie and camp commandant Ryuichi Sakomoto. Assuming that his other prisoners' unwillingness to protest their cruel treatment is a sign of weakness, Sakomoto is most impressed by Bowie's enigmatic defiance. While Bowie and Sakomoto seem to be operating on a high spiritual and intellectual plane, bilingual prisoner Tom Conti (the Mr. Lawrence of the title) engages in a more standard adversarial relationship with sadistic sergeant Takeshi Kitano.

- s***a (514)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe picture arrived promptly , was well packaged and the price was fair. However the description did not mention the picture had been covered in a shiny plastic film, which was not apparent in the photos, and was unexpected .If it had I would not have purchased it, as I brought it to frame .For that reason I'm leaving neutral feedback. I would still recommend this seller as everything else was great, but maybe they need to make sure the description is a bit more accurate .
