‘Ohi‘a Auditorium Love Letter (Japanese film w/ English subtitles 1995)
“Love Letter” plays with the fire of nostalgic memories and Director Iwai has seemingly gone out of his way to craft an impossibly beautiful story, reminding us that some of the things we believe and hold dearly in our memories may not be things that are true. Coincidences pave ways for good discoveries. “Love Letter” is a testament to the adage that “love is lost and love is rediscovered every single day in the world”. Introduction by Kalani Fujiwara, KCC Political Science.
