Review

Los Angeles Times, 02/27/2009, "[S]o committed and sustained is Dorrie's vision and so inspired are Wepper and Elsner and their supporting players that CHERRY BLOSSOMS is a stunning reminder of the omnipresence of mortality."

Box Office, 01/01/2009, p.48, "It's a slow and meditative piece on life and personal chaos, yet it's never boring."

New York Times, 01/16/2009, "CHERRY BLOSSOMS is both a tender tale of cultural crossings and a double portrait of grief....You can be charmed and touched by the way it plays out."

Entertainment Weekly, 01/30/2009, "[T]here's a grace to it all, and moments of oddball poetry..." -- Grade: B

Washington Post, 02/20/2009, "With its dazzling palette, dominated by the extravagant pinks of cherry-blossom season once the story moves to Japan, CHERRY BLOSSOMS succeeds mostly at the hands of cinematographer Hanno Lentz, whose keen eye for location and detail give the movie much of its verve."

Distributor Note

CHERRY BLOSSOMS is a tender, emotionally intense and profoundly moving story of marital love. Only Trudi knows that her husband Rudi is suffering from a terminal illness. She decides not to tell him and convinces him to visit their family in Berlin. Then, suddenly, Trudi dies. Rudi is devastated but vows to make up for her lost life. And so he embarks on his last journey - to Tokyo - in the midst of the cherry blossom festival, a celebration of beauty, impermanence and new beginnings.
Directed by One of Germany’s foremost filmmakers, award-winning Doris Dörrie (Men, Naked, Am I Beautiful?), and starring Elmar Wepper, Hannelore Elsner, Nadja Uhl, Maximilian Bruckner.
