Der Briefwechsel

A touching film about duty, empathy, loneliness and good gestures. And beautiful work of Oscar Isaac in a role demanding real skils to explore a minimalistic story about letters, death, old men expecting news, a presumed suicide situation and the state of a death condamned man.

Each detail sounds just inspired.

The message is not only generous, old fashion one , well crafted but profound useful, being, in essence, precious warning, seeming a parable about options and job, generosity and courage to become useful to the other as giver of unique help.

The Letter Room, Oscar nominee for best live-action short film, is so beautiful and deep with some dark comedy. The plot is interesting and provoking in a way that makes you don't want the film to end. Oscar Isaac is brilliant. The original score is amazing.

The Letter Room is a nice little short about a corrections officer who gets transferred to the prison's prisoner communications department, and how he slowly finds himself involved in the prisoners' private conversations.

The movie felt a little too long, even for a 33-minute short film, but it doesn't mean there is nothing to enjoy here. It's a very easy going film, that doesn't expect too much of the audience, and as such, rewards you with a caring story of humanness in an unlikely place.

Check it out if you can!

A beautiful short based on the life of a lonesome, corrections officer whose duty is to scan through letters written to inmates from their loved ones. The background music in very different and interesting. The short maintains a comedic tone underlying, which makes it quite likeable. It's shot so beautifully. And Oscar Issac is like always, a treat to watch on screen.

How beautiful, pity it's a short, beautiful films shouldn't be limited to short films, but should translate into long and beautiful hours of film ... #Icried So cute and sensitive, the relationship between the protagonist and the prisoner father, deserved it a film just for them...
