Memoirs Of A Geisha


Based on Arthur Golden's novel and set in 1929, this tale follows nine-year-old Chiyo, who is sold to a Kyoto geisha house. Chiyo endures harsh treatment from the owners and head geisha Hatsumomo, who's envious of Chiyo's stunning beauty. Rescued by Hatsumomo's rival, Chiyo blooms in her role as a geisha, but the Second World War threatens to change her privileged life forever. This movie was too long; twenty or thirty minutes should have been cut from the film. Overall, this wasn't that great of a film; it got too much attention.
