 ... romantic, a wonderful love story, in the same way that Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre (Wordsworth Classics), or Emily, her sister's Wuthering Heights (Wordsworth Classics), is likewise. The sheer beauty of the geisha costumes, the geisha's talents and traditions are stunning and fascinating to behold. It's an absolutely wonderful film.The only thing that's bad about this beautiful film, is that it only won three Academy Oscars . Anyone who watches this wonderful movie, will also, I'm sure, give it Oscars for Best Actress a...more

Memoirs of a Geisha was released in 2005. It won three Oscars and awards for costume design, art direction and cinematography. Rightly so! This is a captivating and intriguing story, based on the novel of the same name by Arthur Golden. This historical epic was directed by Rob Marshall, award winning director of 'Chicago' and produced by Lucy Fisher, Douglas Wick and Steven Spielberg. It tells the story of a child taken away from her poor family and sent to work in a Geisha house. The child is selected to train as a Geisha and blossoms into the very popular and respected Geisha, Sayuri. She is beautiful and accomplished in the arts, but also ...  Read the complete review

Chiyo's(Suzuka Ohgo) pale grey eyes have seen much sadness: a dying mother, a father who is impoverished, grieving and forced to sell his children and her sister screaming as she is taken away from her side. All this tragedy before her tenth birthday. Despite the tears and the trauma, these eyes with their clear intensity, are her major asset and her only hope of freedom. These eyes, which change from slate grey to an electrifying blue give her an extraordinary, stunning beauty that is soon recognised by two women who run one of the many okiyas (homes for geishas) in Kyoto. They look upon Chiyo's beauty as an opportunity for making money for their okiya. With training, .  Read the complete review

I bought a few DVDs a while ago, that were on offer for around £5 each, and hadn't got around to watching a couple of them. I was given the opportunity to select one for viewing the other night as there was nothing on TV that we wanted to watch. I selected one called "Memoirs of a Geisha" and sat back to enjoy a cosy night in with my other half. The story unfolds by showing us two little Japanese girls who are separated from their parents, which was a bit harrowing to watch. It appears that they have been sold by their father. They are unfortunately separated from each other a short while later, which again, wasn't exactly easy viewing, ...  Read the complete review

Based on the story retold by Arthur Golden, the film was released on DVD in 2005 and we bought it as soon as it came out having enjoyed it so much at the cinema. At the beginning of the film Chiyo and her big sister Satsu are sold to a man by her poor fisherman father when her mother is dying and we follow their lives from this point forward. They are taken to Kyoto, seperated and sold to different Geisha houses (Okiya), Satsu is not seen as pretty enough to be a 'proper' geisha and ends up living in a lower-level seedier geisha house where they actually do sell sex. In a way Chiyo is luckier and starts as a maid in her okiya but is ...  Read the complete review
