Japanese actor Joe Odagiri made his debut as a director and screenwriter with this quirky comedy. A man is visiting his grandfather in the hospital, and he learns that some secret admirer has been sending the old man a card every day, all of them featuring a picture of a cherry blossom tree. When the man meets someone who claims to recognize the particular tree in the photos, they decide to hit the road and find out for themselves what's so special about the cherry blossom in question. The two travelers become a trio when the taxi they've commandeered runs over a pedestrian who is so fascinated with their quest that he insists on joining in, but the group is at a loss for what to do when they finally arrive at their destination. Starring Kawahara Sabu, Mitani Noboru and Komoto Junichi, Looking For Cherry Blossoms was an official selection at the 2009 Rotterdam International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
