MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE 2 DISC DVD David Bowie Ryuichi Sakamoto CRITERION

Description: You are bidding on a brand new, sealed, never played Two-Dvd Special Edition of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, directed by Nagisa Oshima. In this captivating, skewed World War II drama from Nagisa Oshima, David Bowie regally embodies Celliers, a British officer interned by the Japanese as a POW. Rock star Ryuichi Sakamoto (who also composed this film’s hypnotic score) plays the camp commander, obsessed with the mysterious blond major, while Tom Conti is the British lieutenant colonel Lawrence, who tries to bridge the emotional and language divides between captor and prisoner. Also featuring actor-director Takeshi Kitano in his first dramatic role, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is a multilayered, brutal, at times erotic tale of culture clash, and one of Oshima’s greatest successes.
