Acclaimed director Iwai Shunji first rose to fame with the hauntingly beautiful Love Letter in 1995. Known as a visual artist, Iwai infuses his films with stunning imagery and a keen sensibility that captures the sentiments of contemporary youth and modern life. Reminiscent of Love Letter , his 1998 film April Story is a visually enrapturing and emotionally rewarding experience, unfolding like a beautiful still life painting that is short in length but rich in colors. Small screen star Matsu Takako ( Love Generation ) brings alive the quiet, moving tale of a young woman's journey into life. With the coming of spring, Hokkaido native Nireno Uzuki (Matsu Takako) leaves home for Tokyo to begin a new life as a university student. Shy, awkward, and lonely, she slowly adjusts to her new home, finding solace in the local bookstore and joy in the sight of cherry blossoms, fluttering in the wind. During orientation, Uzuki is thrown off by a seemingly simple question - why did she choose this university? She is unable to answer, for her reason is as at once simple and complex, encompassing a world of memories and emotions.
