Last night we rewatched one of our favourite films: Memoirs of a geisha. This 2005 American film follows a poor Japanese girl from the day she is sold as a slave to a geisha house to her life as a prominent geisha. If you missed it, watch it!
A secretive world
The film is based on the book of the same name, which in turn will be based on an interview with the real geisha Nitta Sayuri. A fascinating drama and an interesting insight into an otherwise secretive world, filled with the art of pleasing, female intrigue and economic power play.

I've never actually seen the film, but I'll probably do it now because it sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip!
