Film: ‘The Japanese Wife’; Starring: Rahul Bose, Raima Sen, Chigusa Takaku, Moushumi Chatterjee; Written & Directed by Aparna Sen; Rating: **
The final lap in this lyrical but contrived tale of unfufilled love shows two women coming together after the tragic death of the man they both loved. One, the Japanese wife of the title, the other a silent widow of meagre means.
By then it’s too late. ‘The Japanese Wife’.

The Japanese Wife
Aparna Sen has made several memorable films, starting with 36, Chowringhee Lane. Like her mentor Satyajit Ray, she too has this rare ability to take the simplest-looking story and turn it into a cinematic piece de resistance. But in The Japanese Wife, she has done something she has not done ever before. That is, to create an ode to love so poetic that it stays on with you for a long, long time.
The story of The Japanese Wife is quite straightforward at the first glance, and those who have read it, already know its flavour. Author Kunal Basu (who makes a one-scene appearance in the film) conjured up this long-distance love story set at a time when the world used to write letters and trans-continental phone calls were exorbitantly costly. Sen adapts this story to the big screen with a rare, lyrical elegance.
