The movie Memoirs of a Geisha

There has never been a story like hers before!!! We are invited to 1920's Japan to experience the mysterious, magical, often misunderstood exotic world of the "geisha," in visually breathtaking cinematography, a heart-stirring musical score, with eye-popping costumes and profound central characters in a meticulous portrayal of her rituals, her rites and her life.

🇯🇵🎬 Director Rob Marshall's (Chicago) film, based on the bestselling book of the same name, faithfully follows the book, tells the transformative story of a woman's search for love and identity, and sensitively explores the culture and her place in it against the backdrop of the historical upheaval of World War II.

The film, which won three Oscars, one for directing, creates an authentic 1920s Kyoto city with its lush gardens, while audiences enjoy John Williams' award-winning musical score that makes the heart swoon with excitement.

👩‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ The two actresses playing the lead roles have undergone intensive and rigorous training to accurately embody the highly artistic looks and mannerisms of a geisha woman.

🎎 The movie is a fascinating tribute to the rich Japanese culture, showcasing many exquisite arts and their nuances in magnificent detail.

✨ Let's watch this masterpiece together on the big screen and discuss it warmly afterward.
