“LOVE LETTER is sweepingly romantic, but not in the way one might expect. It’s not a film about falling in love in the traditional sense, but the quiet comfort of the moments that linger and the ways they shape the rest of our lives.”
—Beyond the Cinerama Dome
“The greatest sentimental story ever told.”
—Asian Movie Pulse
“A bittersweet meditation on love, loss, grief, and memory.”
—Windows on Worlds
Rocked by the death of her fiancé, Hiroko sends a letter to his former address. Surprisingly, she receives a reply from a woman who shares the same name as her beloved. As the pair exchange letters, their correspondence slowly uncovers memories of a man they each thought they knew. A box office hit in Japan and abroad, the film marks the feature film debut of Shunji Iwai (ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU-CHOU, SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY).
