Spielberg war film two-disc edition released

Anyone who has ever read JG Ballard’s Empire of the Sun (Warner, 21.99) should pick up a copy of this Steven Spielberg two-disc edition.

Christian Bale gives a wonderfully engaging performance as schoolboy Jim Graham who becomes separated from his parents as the Japanese invade Shanghai in 1941. He meets up with wiseguy Basie (John Malkovich) and spends four years learning to growing up on the streets and in a Japanese war camp. A beautiful film with the magical Spielberg touch.
