‘The Cracked Actor: Bowie on Screen’ Curator's film pick of the week: 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence' 1983 MAmidst the turmoil of World War II, British Major Jack Celliers (David Bowie) surrenders to the Japanese Army, becoming a prisoner of war at a camp governed by the strict yet sentimental Captain Yonoi (Ryuichi Sakamoto). There, Colonel John Lawrence (Tom Conti), knowledgeable in Japanese culture and language, frequently clashes with Sergeant Hara (Takeshi Kitano), a brutish Japanese officer ignorant of the Geneva Convention. Both witness Captain Yonoi’s growing obsession with Major Celliers, blurring the adversarial line between captor and prisoner.
