Title: Beauty in both happiness and sorrow
Review: In our search for higher achievement we turn to educational knowledge and career, the security of a home, and control of our health and surroundings. Sooner or later we find ourselves in unexpected free fall when these attainments collapse from circumstances sometimes out of our control and sometimes simply because we refuse to see their true impermanence.Cherry Blossoms follows a German couple (the wife of Japanese nationality) who in losing their carefully constructed life style are yet able to reach an atonement, a sublime richness and depth of loving. Film, screenplay and acting are excellent in creating this beautiful story about inter-generational and cross-cultural mis-communications and emotional circumspection, all subtly revealing how playing-it-safe, keeps us from being open to the divine dance that life is.
