Description
[Machine Translation] It All Started with a Simple Encounter, a timeless love story starring Sophia Loren and Richard Burton. This is the first DVD release in Japan of this masterpiece, which was only released on VHS in Japan. Sophia Loren, the world-famous star of "Sunflowers" (70), and Richard Burton, the famous actor known for "Quickening" (65) and other works, reunite in this romantic romance following "The Road" (74). Based on the play "Still Life" by Noel Coward, a brilliant British playwright who was a master of sophisticated comedy and influenced writers and films around the world, this is the second film adaptation following the masterful David Lean's version in 1945. Set in a beautiful English country town, the film depicts the subtleties of the hearts of a man and a woman approaching middle age and their confusion about life with fluid imagery. The detailed performances and strong presence of the two leads captivate the audience, enveloping them in a sad yet beautiful emotion. Directed by Alan Bridges, who was nominated for the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for "Dangerous Loves" in 1975. --Anna lives in the suburbs with her husband, a lawyer, and their child. She goes to a social counseling center by train once a week as a counselor. One afternoon, on her way home, she catches a piece of trash in her eye on the station platform and is tended to by a middle-aged man who happens to be there. The man received Anna's thanks and disappeared directly into the crowd. A few days later, Anna is sitting on a park bench when she is suddenly approached. The man who was in her line of sight was the man who had treated her. The two gradually become friendly with each other after their chance reunion. Includes a booklet explaining the film (Contribution: Sawako Omori / film critic).
