This sensuously beautiful film chronicles the activities of four sisters who gather in Kyoto every year to view the cherry blossoms. It paints a vivid portrait of the pre-war lifestyle of the wealthy Makioka family from Osaka, and draws a parallel between their activities and the seasonal variations in Japan.

    This is top tier cinema. It invites comparison to Fanny and Alexander, but for me The Makioka Sisters is more emotionally engaging and more beautiful.
