Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
The story of the battle of Iwo Jima between the United States and Imperial Japan during World War II, as told from the perspective of the Japanese who fought it.
"They say history is written by the victors. But this time, Clint Eastwood decided to look at the losers. In doing so, he brings us a touching tale of how war can end our longings, dreams and desires in an honest and profound portrait. The director was also involved in 'Flags of Our Fathers', which tells the same story from the other side of the war. It's an interesting double feature to watch together to understand the portrait from two different perspectives, but in terms of sensitivity and strength, 'Letters from Iwo Jima' stands out much more."
