Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983)
Excellent movie, excellent music

An excellent movie. The relationship between Celliers and Yonoi brought tears almost to my eyes. The depth and feeling of the movie, moved me enormously, especially the final scenes.
The only part I wasn't particularly keen on was of course Bowie as a school boy- that was just strange.
However the movie as a whole was a supremely good one, and Bowie excelled himself. I'm not a huge fan of his movies, but here, he became an actor.
I saw it at Christmas, and it probably made it for me- the scenes of eating the flower, 'Merry Christmas' and the final scene between Yonoi and Bowie
