Love Letter (1995)

Beauty in the shape of snow

There's nothing else to say, other than that it's very beautiful. It seems like every Shunji Iwai film is beautiful and melancholic. To tell you the truth, I wouldn't review this film. I think I have few words to say how beautiful this film is. The lack of knowledge that Itsuki's ex-wife had with another woman with the same name as her husband becomes something so melancholic. Fujii realizing that he loved Itsuki even though he realized it so late. Hiroko trying to overcome her past in order to move on with Akiba. The last scene of the film was the best for me, with Fujii realizing that Itsuki drew her on the back, saying that he had an appreciation for her, and her crying knowing that she really loved him. There's nothing else to say, it's beautiful and melancholic. Snow is present in this film, both in the deaths and in the melancholy behind it.

The music is spectacular as always, the direction, the cinematography, everything in this film is literally very well used and spectacular.

The snow and the cold are present, but you feel warm throughout the film.
