The Cherry Orchard

"Based on a comic by Akimi Yoshida, SAKURA NO SONO (English title: THE CHERRY ORCHARD) tells the story about an all-girl's high school preparing and rehearsing for their annual performance of Chekov's play. The unpretentiousness and beauty of shun Nakahara's minimalist direction make that the film looks and works like an actual play, complete with a stage-like composition and long master shots with no cuts."
