The Criterion Channel, celebrated for its focus on classic and impactful films, recently spotlighted the 1983 movie 'Love Letters', directed by Amy Holden Jones. This romantic melodrama, featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, is identified as an essential yet overlooked work in cinema. Jones, after notable beginnings and collaborations with legends like Scorsese, pursued her vision with 'Love Letters' under Roger Corman's guidance, balancing commercial demands with artistic integrity. Its arrival on Criterion Channel signifies recognition and celebration of its emotional depth, allowing new audiences to rediscover this poignant narrative.
Jones persuaded him that the next film she wanted to make, 'Love Letters,' would be in the same vein. He liked her script and, she has said, imposed only one requirement: it had to have some nudity.
'Love Letters' has been streamable elsewhere, but its Criterion Channel showcase, which starts on June 1st, is a fitting tribute to a movie that ought to be considered a small-scale but emotionally potent classic.
