MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR. LAWRENCE (1983) 30207 Movie Poster British 20x30 Rolled David Bowie Tom Conti Jack Thompson Ryuichi Sakamoto Nagisa Oshima

Original British 20x30 poster, released by National Film Trustee Company, for the Nagisa Oshima war drama, MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE (1983) starring David Bowie, Tom Conti, and Ryuichi Sakamoto. This film tells the story of British major Jack Celliers (Bowie) who comes to a Japanese P.O.W. camp in 1942. The film shows most poignantly the physical and mental abuse the prisoners had to live with day in and day out. The eponymous Mr. Lawrence (Conti) has a most difficult time trying to reconcile his respect for Japanese culture with the total barbarity of the camp. This poster was used in a Canadian Cinema and has a Province of Quebec Censor Stamp affixed. This can be removed easily by a professional paper conservationist.
