Memoirs of a Geisha
Todd McCarthyThe mysterious world opened up to readers by Arthur Golden's international best-seller has been moved to the bigscreen with beauty and tact in Memoirs of a Geisha. Long-gestating project may seem like a risky one for an expensive studio venture, given the virtually all-Asian cast, but the combo of the subject's exoticism, the knockout trio of lead actresses and book-built interest should be enough to lure substantial audiences internationally to what is, underneath it all, a conventional Cinderella story.

Memoirs of a Geisha
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star Ziyi Zhang is a young Japanese girl given the chance to join the ranks of the beautiful, enigmatic Geishas in this adaptation of the bestselling novel. From Chicago director Rob Marshall
The mask-like face of the Geisha is one of the best known and instantly recognisable images of Japanese life and yet, despite being so familiar, the details of the world that Geishas inhabit were largely unknown to most in the Western world until the 1997 publication of Arthur Golden's 'Memoirs Of A Geisha'.

Pure escapism
As a big fan of the book I was really looking forward seeing M of a G on the big screen and I was not disappointed. Ok it changed the story slightly and gave it a "happy ending" and missed bits out but dont all films adapted from novels (especially american made films who tend to be heavy handed with the saccharine)? The film is beautiful, the scenery and sets are beautiful and the women are exquisitely beautiful.
For me the joy of this book is in the detail (eg the descriptions of the amazing and very expensive kimono and learning to play the samishen) and there was not enough of that in the film but thats just my thing and, I suppose, could have been boring on screen if not scripted/filmed sensitively and thoughtfully.
Go see this film and be transported to anoth...

Memoirs of a Geisha
On the evidence of Marshall's covering, the geishas are extremely trained birds kept in intricately woven bamboo cages; they are made in the interim fascinating by the skills of the film over's true artists - its troika of fine leading actresses...
