MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE opens in New York. In 1942 in a Japanese POW facility on Java two British officers  clash in a brutal game of cultural oneupmanship & implied homoeroticism with the camp's vainglorious commander & his sadistic head guard. With David Bowie, Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Takeshi and Jack Thompson.
