Details
Java 1942. The arrival of the mysterious British officer Celliers (David Bowie) in a tightly handled Japanese prison camp, controlled by Sakamoto, leads to conflict situations. Based on the novel "The Seed and the Sower" by Sir Lawrence van der Prost, the film not only sketches the clash between the 2 men, but also that between cultures. Beautifully filmed by Nagisa Oshima with of course the legendary film kiss between Bowie and Sakamoto. The beautiful music of Ryuichi Sakamoto completes this classic.

Java 1942. De komst van de geheimzinnige Britse officier Celliers (David Bowie) in een met strakke hand door Sakamoto bestuurd Japans gevangenenkamp leidt tot conflictsituaties. De film gebaseerd op de roman "The Seed and the Sower" van Sir Lawrence van der Prost, schetst niet alleen de botsing tussen de 2 mannen maar ook die tussen culturen. Prachtig verfilmd door Nagisa Oshima met natuurlijk de legendarische filmkus tussen Bowie en Sakamoto. De fraaie muziek van Ryuichi Sakamoto vervolmaakt deze klassieker.
