Faiz D I absolutely love this film. One of my all-time favorites. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Audience Member This is a very endearing movie, it made me really happy from the inside, it tugs at your heart strings, in a way that is not explananble. The actors, the story line, the simplicity--it deserves 10 stars if i can give it. Truly a great watch---Wish we had more such movies. It summarizes one thing for sure--LOVE is a universal language.

Kinda romantic movie I love. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A Beautiful love story between an Indian teacher living on Bali Island in the West Bengal Sunderbans and a young Japanese woman. It is a love story between two shy people who never even met, but created a strong bond, of love and friendship through correspondence. This is an artful quiet movie, with so much beauty; One of it's strengths come from the restraint in the way the story is being told. The care they have for each other, not through big declarations of love, but through every-day actions and consideration. She sends him Japanese kites that enchant his whole village during kite flying competition. He consults the ayurvedic doctor when she gets sick. This movie is not everyone. It is a very slow moving, (which I liked), where attention is given to little details and nuances, through some 17 years of marriage. The cinematography of the island is gorgeous.. and this beautifully crafted film by director Aparna Sen, is held together by strong performances by the lead actors. The movie poster refers to it as a "love poem..." - good description.. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
