The Letter DVD Review
Synopsis: Martine Jamison (Winona Ryder) is a NY theatre director beginning rehearsals for a new play starring her boyfriend Raymond (Josh Hamilton) opposite a young beauty. They are joined by an unknown newcomer, Tyrone (James Franco), who develops a peculiar fascination with Martine and is openly hostile to all others. As rehearsals continue, Martine has periods of disorientation that quickly deteriorate into vivid hallucinations as she becomes convinced someone is trying to poison her. As Martine's mental state devolves she begins to rewrite her play.and art and life become inseparable.
Review: Firstly, I want to compliment the cast in this one. Its nice to see Winona in a great film and James Franco never disappoints. These two together are magic. Winona, no stranger to portraying the mentally disturbed (Girl, Interrupted) is back as a playwright that is becoming increasingly dellusional and paranoid during a play she is putting on with her boyfriend in the lead. This film was very artsy, dark and twisted. We enjoyed it greatly.
Interest Range: Drama
