      After reading Zweig's original work, I will give Xu's adapted movie one star. After watching this, I will give Xu's movie another star. Xu's film is to be persistent for his own choice. The powerlessness of a woman willing to give her life for a man, I love you, but it has nothing to do with you, is it really irrelevant? At this point I think the director resonates more with Zweig. It's a pity that the end made the male protagonist cry bitterly and go to the duel appointment, dispelling the tragic nature of the original work. It's also a big pity that I didn't shoot the scene where the old housekeeper recognizes the heroine. This is the most heartbreaking climax of the whole story. @大光

      3.5. The first Orpheus. It is not only like a Western version of "Rouge Buckle" with a different ending, but also like a filling of another possibility (premarital encounter and one-way affection) of "Meet Hate Late". The out-of-focus transitions are beautiful and seem uncommon at the same time, and Joan Fontaine's long-span performances are silent. A soul torture from film history/literary and art history: Why have there been so many men since ancient times?

    Letter from an Unknown Woman quotes

    • Stefan Brand: Promise me something.

      Lisa Berndl: Anything.

      Stefan Brand: And I don't even know where you live. Promise me you won't vanish.

      Lisa Berndl: I won't be the one who vanishes.

    • 1st Man on Balcony: [Speaking of Stefan] He returned last week.

      2nd Man on Balcony: A concert tour?

      Woman on Balcony: Pleasure trip most likely.

      1st Man on Balcony: The way he's burning himself up, it's a wonder he's still alive.

      2nd Man on Balcony: Ten years ago, he showed great promise. Too bad. With that talent, he could have been a great pianist.

      1st Man on Balcony: Perhaps talent is not enough.

      Woman on Balcony: Perhaps he has too many talents.
