About this product

Product Information

Arthur Golden's blockbuster bestseller, MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, has been brilliantly brought to the big screen by Oscar-nominated director Rob Marshall (CHICAGO). The film opens in a remote Japanese fishing village in 1929, where two sisters, Chiyo and Satsu, are sold by their troubled father to people who place Chiyo in a classy geisha house known as an okiya in Gion and Satsu in a much more vulgar and dangerous district. Chiyo becomes a maid to Hatsumomo, a cold, controlling, and calculating geisha who is instantly jealous of Chiyo's unusual, beautiful eyes and childish innocence. Chiyo is befriended by Pumpkin, another maid at the okiya, but the two are soon driven apart. Chiyo is shown compassion by the Chairman and another, more successful geisha, Mameha, who takes her under her wing as her "little sister," furthering the battle between Chiyo, now called Sayuri, and Hatsumomo. As Sayuri is trained in the art of being a geisha, learning how to walk, talk, dance, and serve (up to a point) in order to please and honor her distinguished male clients, World War II looms on the horizon, threatening to upend Japan and its old ways.MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA is a lush, sweeping historical and romantic epic, featuring gorgeous period costumes, primarily the exquisite kimono worn by the geisha. Ziyi Zhang (HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS) is outstanding as Sayuri, who stands up to the oppressive Hatsumomo (the effervescent Gong Li), while Michelle Yeoh, who starred with Zhang in CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, is splendid as the wise and elegant Mameha. Ken Watanabe (THE LAST SAMURAI), Koji Yakusho (SHALL WE DANCE?), and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (ELEKTRA) are among the men who take an interest in Sayuri, who is continually faced with difficult choices that will shape her destiny, just as Japan's destiny is changing shape with the coming of the West. John Williams's soaring score is enhanced by solos from virtuosos Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman.

    Memoirs of pre World War 2 Japan.

    An outstanding Japanese cast, beautiful and haunting score enhanced by the ethereal Master Itzhak Perlman, unbelievable sets in Japan historically recreated (as most of that time are gone) when necessary, and a truthful but respectful view of the customs of that time concerning the Geisha. Director Rob Marshall, with the help and support of his Japanese, American and international team, portrays this story as a loving but bittersweet tribute to a long gone era. This would not have been accomplished without the genius of cinematographer Dion Beebe and all the set and costume design who were SPOT ON in this recreation of that bygone era. You will be truly moved never forget this one and it will forever remain in your heart. In my TOP 10 movies of all time! p.s. I am NOT a professional ...

    Beautiful and worth watching

    I read the book when I was a teenager, and fell in love with the story and characters. I never knew it had been made into a movie. I'm glad I found this, it's beautiful!

    A Geisha's story of love

    1st time I watched this movie many years ago I wanted to watch it again. This is exclusive movie that is so beautiful is color and fashion about a young girl sold into a Geisha's world. Learning the trade herself finds true love from a man that showed her truth of kindness when she was a young girl. A novel that could have been true movie worth watching 10x+
