Set in Java at a Japanese POW camp in 1942 a war of wills - and unspoken erotic attraction - unfolds between a rebellious prisoner and camp commandant (Ryuichi Sakomoto) who is impressed by Bowie's defiance while bilingual prisoner Tom Conti (Mr. Lawrence) engages in a more adversarial relationship with sadistic sergeant Takeshi Kitano (Hana Bi) who finally offers Lawrence a sinister 'Christmas' present. Fine performances by Conti Kitano (his first dramatic role) Sakamoto (also contributing the memorable score) and Bowie combined with stunning cinematography and brilliant direction by one of Japan's finest filmmakers make this a memorable and compelling war drama.
