Letter From an Unknown Woman
"Letter From an Unknown Woman" is a remake of the 1948 classic by Max Uphuls, (adapted from the book by Stephan Zweig), starring Joan Fontaine (Suspicion, Rebecca), a film which no one has dared to remake until now. And I must say that the 2004 Chinese version does indeed do justice to the original.
Jinglei Xu has given us an incredible film which is much more than an homage to a classic. The film is languid, beautiful, tragic, in the way it seems only a Chinese film could really do right. And I find myself at a loss to describe the film in words which would do justice to the poem that this film is. See the film is all I can say.
"Letter From an Unknown Woman" plays at SIFF:
Monday, May 30, 7:00 PMTheater: -->Neptune Theatre
Thursday, June 02, 4:45 PMTheater: -->Egyptian Theatre
If you miss it, perhaps we will be fortunate enough to play it at the Grand soon.
