Love Letter

Hiroko is still in the depths of grief from losing her fiancé Itsuki Fujii in a tragic mountain-climbing accident. On the day of his two-year memorial service, Hiroko finds an old address of Itsuki’s, and sends him a letter. Shockingly, she receives a reply, from a woman who also happens to be named Itsuki Fujii. As the two women exchange letters, coincidences and memories of Hiroko’s fiancé bring them together in ways they could have never imagined. “Extremely attractive and succulently filmed” (Variety) by writer-director Shunji Iwai in his feature debut, Love Letter was a box-office phenomenon upon its initial release and has been hailed as “gloriously brilliant” and the “greatest romance story from Japan” (Asian Movie Pulse).
