Letter from a Yellow Cherry Blossom (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Japan Version) DVD Region 2

One of Japan's leading female directors, Kawase Naomi first came to international attention in 1997 when she became the youngest winner of the Cannes Caméra d'Or with her debut feature Moe no Suzaku. Ten years later, she won the Grand Prix at the 30th Cannes Film Festival with her acclaimed film The Mourning Forest. Though better known for her full-length narrative films, Kawase has spent most of her filmmaking career working with documentaries, often of an autobiographical nature. She is, however, equally adept at observing others as evident in her documentary Letter from a Yellow Cherry Blossom, an intimate portrait of the final days of photo critic and editor Kazuo Nishii. Kazuo, who passed away of cancer on November 25, 2001, invited Kawase to record the last two months of his life. Both pointing cameras at each other, they together create a moving memoir of life, loss, and remembrance.

Comes with director's interview and leaflet.
