Memoirs of a Geisha

Today, I finally got around to seeing a film that has been recommended to me for years, Memoirs of a Geisha. As it was listed as a film to watch for our latest project, I was excited to watch it from an entertainment and analytical perspective.

Memoirs of a Geisha was originally a book written by Arthur Golden and published in 1997. The film adaptation was released in 2005, directed by Rob Marshall. The story follows a young girl who is sold, by her family, to a geisha house and follows her struggle to eventually become one of the most celebrated geisha’s in Japan.
