Memoirs of a Geisha



  • Directed by Rob Marshall
  • Starring Ziyi Zhang, Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh, Ken Watanabe
  • Based on a bestseller novel by Arthur Golden, this is a story of a Japanese girl, Sayuri, who became a geisha in 1929. The film is enjoyable with happy ending. It is however quite shallow and doesn't tell much about the real life of geishas. All Chinese actresses deliver fine performances, but I think the film would be much better if it uses Japanese casts who speak Japanese with English subtitle.
