Martin is joined by returning guests Zachary Curl and Leanne Kubicz to discuss Nagisa Oshima’s atypical war film, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. They talk in-depth about the film’s four leads: Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Bowie, and Takeshi Kitano. They examine Oshima’s themes and dream-like style, look at the films flashback structure, and talk about how they connect personally to it.
