Hanami - Cherry Blossoms

[maririn77]

One of the famous Butoh dancer passed away recently at age 103, and it reminded me of this movie. Actually, Butoh is not as popular in Japan as described in this movie, and I got to know about it for the first time when I rented this movie just a few months ago.

Of course, when non-Japanese movie makers describe Japan, it is more or less prejudiced, and this movie was not exceptional. However, as a Japanese, I still enjoyed to see how Japan was described by German movie makers.

pleeease whats the music starting from 1:11???!!!

[kingamoj]

Sounds like music from Okinawa. I am not sure exactly what artist it is...

[banananosplit]

The piece of music starting at 1:15 is from Ryuichi Sakamoto ''Beauty'' (1989), indeed beautiful music for such a beautiful film.

한글로도 되나봅니다. 맨위 유투브 아이콘바로옆에 한국 한국어 글씨중에서 한국을 누르면 국가 설정을 바꿀 수 있습니다.. 나라를 바꿔야 글이 올라가다니..흠ㅁㅁ. 세상이 어찌돌아가는건지. 허탈합니다. 시간이해결해줄까요

special movie !!! full of tears in smiling eyes . this is the first time that i had that kind of experience

[PanFchelseapl]

it's one of those films, where at the end, the audience just couldn't move from their seats. incredible... some people finally went out of the cinema and then started crying...

but the movie isn't JUST SAD - it's a whole, whole, whole lot more. and the main emotion doesn't really have to be saddness.

watch this movie - it's not easy to find and to watch, but so incredible...

[PanFchelseapl]

i'm looking for it too

[hannahgilb]

this just won the audience choice award at the cleveland film festival, of course i missed it now must find a way to see it!

[momomike4]

i saw it at the festival and the award was well deserved. by far and away my favorite film of the 10 i was able to see.

[lilcritter8803]

this movie was incredibly sad. i was on the verge of tears through the whole thing and finally lost it at the end.

[tokioangel95]

i watched the movie with my dad and at the end i was close to tears its a wonderful but extremely sad film but has lots of spirit!

[shivark]

after some serious searching (coz I wanted to know too) - found out that the song is actually an Okinawan folk song called "Tinsagu No Hana". This one sounds like the piece called "Chinsagu No Hana" from the movie "Japanese Story" - music by Elizabeth Drake. There are youtube posts for both her and Ryuichi Sakamoto's works

[Nigel324]

does anyone know what's the song at the end and who it's by?

[fatenhyde]

wow this is good.

[watergunna]

The trailer actually made me cry :O woow. "my wife, she wants to go on a trip...." Wow. I'm gonna watch this movie today! :D

[END8]

[pepeblance]

[lulongo]
