Letter from an Unknown Woman, 1948, by Max Ophüls

[julianglantz]

A wonderful, poignant, beautifully crafted film - a minor masterpiece about the nature of unrequited love - or more accurately, obsession. Deeply and yet craftily 'knowing' about the nature of womanisers everywhere - the shallowness and emotional barrenness of some of those who allegedly love women. The period detail is exquisitely done, and the whole film is a delight.

What a beautiful and heartbreaking film! I read Stefan Zweig's novel "Letter from an unknown woman" when I was 14 years old and cried my eyes out. The film is a perfect representation of the novel. The acting is just perfect! I would like to see Robert Pattinson remaking this beautiful film to introduce younger audiences to it.
