Additional Information
Clint Eastwood revisits familiar territory with LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA, a companion piece to his critically-acclaimed World War II drama FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS. Where the two films differ is in their version of events; FLAGSà is told from a predominantly American point-of-view, whereas LETTERSà offers the Japanese perspective. With American forces on their way, General Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe, THE LAST SAMURAI) arrives on the island to find his troops woefully under-trained and hopelessly outnumbered. With no sign of reinforcements, these men have little chance of surviving the imminent onslaught. At one point, Saigo (Japanese pop and television star Kazunari Ninomiya), a young soldier shovelling trenches asks, æAm I digging my own grave?Æ Indeed, it is he and General Kuribayashi who provide the emotional centre of the film, giving a glimpse into the minds of both drafted novices and seasoned officers. Eastwood doesnÆt deal in simple heroes and villains; these characters are sympathetic and real, whether their motives are pride, fear, or loyalty to their country. As youÆd expect from Eastwood, the battle scenes are breathtaking and brutal, but itÆs the actors who are at the core of the film. Tom SternÆs cinematography is equally impressive; his palette of taupes and greys create a desolate volcanic landscape thatÆs hell on earth for the stationed soldiers but starkly beautiful for the audience. LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA has all the standard tropes found in modern war films-- the abuse of power, gruesome battle scenes, etc.--but Eastwood goes beyond the war-movie boilerplate, delivering a film that finds humanity even in the inhumanity of war.
Reviews
The Independent - Eastwood and his cinematographer Tom Stern have done a superb and possibly unique job in showing both sides of this dreadful battle, BBC - An involving wartime epic, Empire - A sharper account of the Iwo Jima conflict than Flags [Of Our Fathers], this balances its unflinching handling of the horrors of war with its touching portrayal of those who face them, Time Out - An impressive work of compassionate imagination, Rolling Stone - Eastwood's film burns into the memory by striving for authentic detail. The result is unique and unforgettable, Entertainment Weekly - It takes a filmmaker of uncommon control and mature grace to say so much with so little superfluous movement, and Eastwood triumphs in the challenge

  • A great war film.

    Moving, and graphic in it's evocation of the war between Japan and the Allies. Powerful and haunting. Don't miss it!

  • Amazing film and part of great trilogy

    Great film showing a completely ignored aspect of World War Two. Clint Eastwood really shows how varied and honest a director can be which is a breath of fresh air in Western Cinema these days. It is predicatbly brutal for a war film but also seeks balance and understanding people no matter what side of the battle they are on.
