Film: Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence- Farish Theater

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence will be shown as part of the Bowie Film Nights series in Farish Theater on February 8, 6:30 PM. Free admission.

“During World War II, British soldier Jack Celliers (David Bowie) is captured by Japanese forces and held in a prison camp by the honor-bound Capt. Yanoi (Ryuichi Sakamoto). Yanoi and gruff Sgt. Hara (Takeshi) become intrigued with Celliers’ open defiance in the face of their staunchly old-world ideas about cowardice and shame. Meanwhile, a translator, Lt. Col. John Lawrence (Tom Conti), attempts to find common ground between British and Japanese beliefs.”
