David Bowie stars in Nagisa Oshima’s 1983 Palme d’Or-nominated portrait of resilience, pride, friendship and obsession among four very different men confined in the stifling jungle heat of a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Java during World War II.
In 1942, British officer Major Jack Celliers (Bowie) is captured by Japanese soldiers, and after a brutal trial sent, physically debilitated but indomitable in mind, to a POW camp overseen by the zealous Captain Yonoi (Ryuichi Sakamoto). Celliers’ stubbornness sees him locked in a battle of wills with the camp’s new commandant, a man obsessed with discipline and the glory of Imperial Japan who becomes unnaturally preoccupied with the young Major, while Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence (Tom Conti), the only inmate with a degree of sympathy for Japanese culture and an understanding of the language, attempts to bridge the divide through his friendship with Yonoi’s second-in-command, Sergeant Hara (Takeshi Kitano), a man possessing a surprising degree of compassion beneath his cruel façade.
Produced by Jeremy Thomas (The Last Emperor, The Sheltering Sky), it was the first English-language film by Oshima (Death by Hanging, In the Realm of the Senses, Gohatto), a leading light of Japanese New Wave cinema, and provided breakthrough big-screen roles for comedian Takeshi Kitano and musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, who also composed the film’s hauntingly memorable BAFTA-winning score. This powerful wartime drama was adapted from Laurens van der Post’s autobiographical novel ‘The Seed and the Sower’ (1963) by screenwriter Paul Mayersberg (The Man Who Fell to Earth).

RIP Sakamoto.
I've always appreciated David's choices, he is deeply missed
I don't really know much about movies nor actors, so when I watched this movie for the first time, I thought the actor that played Mr. Lawrence (Tom Conti) must be a huge actor that has played in many famous movies. I was surprised to see that this was not the case. His performance in this movie is absolutely amazing.
You're right, his performance actually stands out a lot and serves the film so well
Most heartbreaking and wonderful beautiful film ever, just STUNNING 😔
David was so talented innovative ground breaking, actually quite funny and brilliant. Musical artist first but David made over 30 movies including one of my favorite films "The Man who fell to earth" Rip Torn an old school Hollywood actor co-starred with David. Great Film.
0:09- Oops, sorry. David Bowie asked Santa for a wartime punch to the face.
Beautiful soundtrack. Great acting.
RIP my Bowie
It's a nice summary of the film, but this "trailer" gives nearly all of it away before anyone's had a chance to watch it.

I didn't know the Japanese treated pows so cruelly. APPARENTLY they weren't paying Ttention to the Geneva convention. DID THEY R E ALLY BURY SOMEONE UP TO THE NECK IN SAND?
They did a lot more than that, but the "Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War" was adopted in 1949. A whole seven years after the movie is supposed to take place, and four years after the Japanese surrendered in WW2. So there was no convention to speak of. Many of the international laws pertaining to human rights were drafted as a response to the horrors of the two world wars.
To be fair though, there was an early version of the Geneva convention from 1864 that theoretically could have been applicable, but it was only signed by 12 countries, and Japan was not among those.
Am I detecting homosexual tendencies being struggled with here in this film? 😁
Anybody here from Rogue Wave GBB21
Ca a l'air éclater au sol 😒
