Description

I can't remember what drew me to watch this film, but I'm so glad that I did. The film, without giving too much away, is basically about a group of mainly British soldiers who are being held in a POW camp in Japan, where they find it hard to understand the Japanese culture and ideas, such as death being seen as honour. The main character, Major Celliers (David Bowie) is sent to the camp where because of his stubborn and somewhat strange actions, his captors begin to think he is possesed by an evil spirit.Although on the whole the film is sad, slightly shocking and memorable for it's uniquenessmore…, there are funny parts in it despite the bitter subject. There is also some very memorable imagery such as David Bowie being burried in sand up to his neck... David Bowie was amazing in it which I did not really expect due to only previously seeing him in Labyrinth (Though he was also good in that)The music is both haunting and memorable, especially the tune right at the begining which is reverberated thoughout the film.Although the film is not for every one, if you are searching for a film which has something different about it, I deffinatly recomend this.
