MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE

4 Original 10 inch x 8 inch Stills of DAVID BOWIE, TOM CONTI, JACK THOMPSON, TAKESHI KITANO & JAMES MALCOLM in the 1983 Nagisa Ôshima Wartime Drama MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE, based on the novel by Laurens van der Post.

In this captivating, skewed World War II drama, David Bowie regally embodies Celliers, a British officer interned by the Japanese as a POW. 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.

The stills are in fine condition.
