    Element of this film a contived beyond any question of believability, but it is still a great drama, and to date (2007), it's my favourite film from Shunji Iwai.

    This is my BEST movie. Can't stop tears running. Also music is very good.

    There was a little store in Chinatown where I loved to buy import DVDs from, when I lived in NYC. I stumbled upon this film amidst their selection and was instantly struck by the stunning minimalist cover art (often times, you CAN judge a film by its cover!). I immediately wanted...( read more) to see the film, but frustratingly, the DVD edition they had only had Korean audio, and it was a Japanese film! Oh, the disappointment! I will eventually get my hands on a viewable copy. Can't wait!

    The story is slow going. The story is good but can be boring at the start. And I hate the story telling of the childhood days stuff.

    Haha. How complicated love letters can become, when falling into wrong hands :D That's basically the movie's message.
