What is Cherry Blossoms about?
Shot on 16mm film, this experimental piece is inspired by a short story by Ango Sakaguchi about a doomed romance set against the backdrop of blooming cherry trees. Michishita dispenses with the lovers and retains only the cherry blossoms. Caught from every angle, they bloom and fall, communicating a sense of enrapturement with this local and eternal cycle. The music is by Toshi Ichiyanagi, a major figure in postwar Japanese music. The film reflects a distinct Japan style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Kyoko Michishita. With a runtime of 16 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
