The Letter (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version)


How are you my brother? This is my last letter to you.

Based on a work by renowned Naoki prize-winning author Higashino Keigo, Tegami, a.k.a Letter, is a tale of brotherhood and reconciliation, presenting the aftermath of violent crime from a perspective rarely covered in film - the perpetrator's family. Perhaps best known for his leading performance in the film Train Man, Yamada Takayuki, who also appeared in the drama adaptation of Higashino's Byakuyako, takes on a completely different kind of role in Tegami. Yamada stars as a troubled young man who faces scorn and ostracism because of the crimes of his older brother, sensitively portrayed by Tamayama Tetsuji (Heaven's Bookstore). Rising actress Sawajiri Erika (1 Litre no Namida), continuing her effortless conquest of Japanese entertainment, plays Yamada's love. Jiro Shono, director of such popular TV dramas as Beautiful Life, helms his first feature film in 16 years, and Tegami reflects that restrained yet sentimental quality familiar to Japanese dramas, with a second half that may elicit more than a few drops of tears.

Twenty-year-old Naoki (Yamada Takayuki) lives in the shadow of his brother (Tamayama Tetsuji), who is serving a prison sentence for murder. With his brother imprisoned, Naoki continues to work hard to support himself, but the life he knows has abandoned him. Carrying the cross of being a "murderer's brother", Naoki is constantly discriminated against at work and by his neighbors. Shutting himself away from other people, Naoki slowly begins to resent his brother, and stops returning his letters. But his brother continues to write to him, adding to Naoki's anger. During these difficult times, the only light that shines for him is Yumiko (Sawajiri Erika), who helps him remember the dreams he has given up.
