“You are the victim of men who think they are right… Just as one day you and captain Yonoi believed absolutely that you were right. And the truth is of course that nobody is right…”
A striking image of David Bowie for the 1983 film “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence” features a distinctive painting of David Bowie wearing a khaki army uniform, hat and scarf, standing with his arms behind his back with a black and white Japanese samurai sword lodged in the ground between his feet. This original first year of release (1983) British door panel poster is a truly great find. With the added bonus of being rolled this presents very well with great Bowie imagery and really does justice to the iconic actor/musician. Incredibly scarce in this narrow format standing over five feet tall and with a very low print run this really is an exciting music/movie collectable from one of the most influential icons of modern pop culture…David Bowie.
Trivia: The distinctive music score and soundtrack in this film is notable. It was composed by Ryûichi Sakamoto and it is considered to be the breakthrough movie to which he and his music became well-known around the world.

“You are the victim of men who think they are right… Just as one day you and captain Yonoi believed absolutely that you were right. And the truth is of course that nobody is right…”
A complete set of all eight (8) US lobby cards presented in totally original unrestored condition. An absolutely fantastic collection of images from 1983, in what was to become a memorable screen role for David Bowie as Jack Celliers in Nagisa Ôshima’s “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence”. The imagery chosen for the eight cards perfectly capture the whole feel of the movie with Bowie featured on six leaving Tom Conti, as the titular Mr. Lawrence and a prisoner of war riot to complete the set. Incredibly hard to source as a complete and in this high grade condition, as most sets were split as music fans focussed on the six cards highlighting Bowie. These, unfolded, flat (as issued) examples present and display to excellent effect and represent a really exciting music/movie collectable from one of the most influential icons of modern pop culture…David Bowie.
Trivia: David Bowie was cast in the role of Major Jack Celliers after director Nagisa Ôshima saw a performance of his on the stage in a Broadway production of ‘The Elephant Man’.

“It’s not a biography. It’s a senses attack”
Undoubtedly, one of the great music biography films; David Bowie as presented by Brett Morgen in “Moonage Daydream”. Technically it’s not a biography but a loud, vivid, exploration and celebration of Bowie’s life, art, and music. Made up of clips cleverly edited together and enhanced to make this a cinematic experience. This original 2022 UK quad designed by the creative agency Bangers & Mash and featuring an iconic Bowie image is a truly great find due to the very limited cinematic release in art-house and small independent cinemas. Presented in near perfect unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition – truly stunning, and a perfect complement to the ground breaking musician. Incredibly scarce with a very low print run this really is an exciting item of rock / movie collectable from one of the most influential icons of modern pop culture…David Bowie.
Trivia: The documentary includes a lot of David Bowie‘s unpublished personal material, including photos, home videos and some interviews on TV. Director Brett Morgen talked in person with Bowie’s widow, top model Iman, for asking permission to use the material as tribute to Bowie. Although in a first moment she was reluctant to this idea, she was convinced by Morgen’s previous works Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015) and Jane (2017) about singer Kurt Cobain and scientist Jane Goodall, where Morgen used personal material from each other to create artistic collages as tribute to them, instead to use in the way to make a classic biographic documentary.
