‘Letters From the Park’
Cuba, 1988, 87 minutes Noon Cuban director Tomas Gutierrez Alea has shimmering period decor and a lovely Gabriel Garcia Marquez script, as a sad, voyeuristic professional letter-writer composes the love-epistles for both members of an impassioned couple, even as he falls helplessly in love with the woman. Of all AFI/LA FilmFest’s Marquez films, this is the simplest and gentlest: a touching idea, exquisitely realized. RECOMMENDED.
