Snehamoy (Rahul Bose) leads a lonely life in rural India with his aunt, Mashi (Moushumi Chatterjee). Miyage (Chigusa Takaku) also is basically alone, stuck with an ill mother in Japan. When the pair start a pen pal relationship, they instantly become close friends, despite the distance. Snehamoy has a chance to marry local girl Sandhya (Raima Sen), but refuses, instead wishing to wed Miyage. But money problems and the space separating the would-be lovers could make romance an impossibility.

You won't take your eyes off the screen from the opening scene to the closing credits of "The Japanese Wife." Although this is a simple love story, it's visual style and look reminded me of another great Indian film, "Water" which also had a female director, Deepa Mehta. Aparna Sen, the director of "The Japanese Wife" uses the visual beauty of India, especially the rivers, as effectively as the cinematography of "Water." The acting is superb, as Rahul Bose and Chigusa Takaku as the star-crossed spouses are excellent. The supporting cast, mainly the aunt (Moushoumi Chatterjee) and a little boy(Rudranil Ghosh) are both very good. The story is a very basic one showing 2 people of vastly different cultures falling in love via letter writing. The universal message of loneliness and yearning are depicted in a very interesting way. Even as a cynical American, I cannot recommend this film highly enough.
