Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence

“Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Ryuichi Sakamoto, who I worked with, just died. This music is probably the most memorable music he left in the world. But he left so much. And I keep listening to Ryuichi’s music. And I’m picking it up out of love for Ryuichi.”

“Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. I'm really interested to see this again because I remember it really well on TV. Again, the BBC always showed really cool films and I found that so brutal, so absolutely vicious, and I'm intrigued to see it again. Yeah, it's amazing.”
