WHAT’S THE CONCEPT?
Set in an exotic world strewn with a rich, cultural enigma, the story to this romantic epic begins during the years before World War II. When a Japanese child is torn from her penniless family, she is stripped of her rights to a real life after being forced to work as a servant in a geisha house. A geisha is an artist, unique to Japan, who earns her living by entertaining powerful men.
WHAT’S IT LIKE?
While she is brought in as a servant, her captivating charm lures the most powerful men into her world, helping her blossom into the legendary geisha Sayuri. But while her role as a geisha is justified through her compelling ways and provocative charm, her inside feelings become her weakness when she develops a secret love for the one man that is beyond her reach.
WORTH WATCHING?
Adapted from novelist Arthur Golden’s sweeping novel, Memoirs of a geisha, director Rob Marshall managed to translate the words into an intoxicating and riveting moving picture that lets you live in that hidden world. The acting is rich and it’s a unique experience to live the secretive struggles of a geisha. The sweeping, romantic epic actually spent two years on The New York Times best-seller list after selling more than four million copies in English. Its widespread success had it translated into 32 languages. |
