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.
