Review of Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983) by David S — 29 Sep 2010
A unique POW drama that's about the psyche of the prisoners and their guards more than it is about the physical toll. The dialog is sometimes on-the-nose, especially that of Tom Conti who plays the film's moral core.
But the story is compelling and beautifully filmed. Highly recommended.
