Love letter
Koibumi | Kinuyo Tanaka
The distance imposed by war is fatal to true love. Directorial debut for Kinuyo Tanaka, Mizoguchi’s favourite actress, whose work was dominated by her examination of the female soul. Through the story of a young woman forced into marriage and an affair essential to her survival, Kinuyo protests against the fate of women, who are unjustly condemned by acts of necessity.
