Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.

A story of love and honor that takes place during the mid-nineteenth century during revolutions, as well as economic, political, and social hypocrisy. Two extraordinary but lonely artists share a passionate love, as evidenced by the preserved letters that they exchanged.
