About the event

Too Much: Letter from an Unknown Woman + Introduction
Max Ophüls (The Earrings of Madame de...) brought his trademark flowing camera style and a taste of the old Vienna to Hollywood for this tragic story of unrequited love.

Leaving Germany after the ascendancy of the Nazi party, Ophüls made films in France and Italy before emigrating to Hollywood in the late 1940s. Letter from an Unknown Woman is perhaps the best known of the four films he made there before returning to Europe.

It’s an immensely moving tale of a young woman’s (Joan Fontaine) periodic encounters with concert pianist Stefan Brand (Louis Jourdan), including a love affair that some years later Brand will wretchedly not even remember.

This screening will be introduced by Dr. Des O'Rawe, senior lecturer in Film Studies at Queen's University, Belfast.

Too Much: Melodrama on film is a UK-wide season, supported by BFI National Lottery funding, celebrating the vivid visual language, heightened dramatics and emotional pathos at the heart of film melodrama.
