"Sakura Bloom"

The story of a husband chasing the wishes of his deceased wife to a foreign land.

The first half is like a hymn of husband and wife: the fixed camera pursues a delicate composition, although it is dominated by cool tones, it also creates a harmonious atmosphere; many dialogues between characters are completed by portable photography, with realistic trivial, warm The shades however feel like a sweater.

After coming to Japan, there is basically no fixed camera, and the unstable feeling is like a widower who is troubled by the new environment and unable to get rid of his thoughts of his deceased wife.

Cabbage rolls, dancing together, Mt. Fuji from multiple angles... The husband who died in a foreign country finally stayed with his deceased wife.

It is not very wise to choose to watch such a film in such a weather. The film is just like the temperature in Beijing at night, no matter how much you wear (no matter how beautiful the film is), because there is no heating gas, it is still freezing cold from the foot.
