Reviews
asianfilmweb said about this film:
- “Anyone who liked Die Geisha will love Sakuran - Wild Cherry Blossom, because the view of slavery in the brothel appears less romanticized and more believable and therefore clearly relegates the novel by Die Geisha to second place, also because of the visual virtuosity. A very successful manga film adaptation. "
movie-college said about this movie:
- “Sakuran is a film for the eye and it's nice to look at these pictures. However, I find it questionable whether such a topic is properly treated in this way. "
