What Love Letter Is About
A woman writes to her dead fiance's old address and receives an answer she was not expecting, from a stranger who shares his name. Shunji Iwai runs the film through the correspondence between two women and works gradually back to the man's schooldays. Snowbound Hokkaido sets the temperature: everything is quiet, cold and underexplained. The library sequence is among the most cited scenes in Japanese cinema. The setup could easily tip into melodrama, but Iwai leaves the feeling in the details rather than raising his voice.
