Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)
Based on the internationally acclaimed novel by Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha is a sweeping romantic epic set in a mysterious and exotic world that still casts a potent spell today.
The story begins in the years before World War II when a penniless Japanese child is torn from her family to work as a maid in a geisha house. Despite a treacherous rival who nearly breaks her spirit, the girl blossoms into the legendary geisha, Sayuri (Ziyi Zhang). Beautiful and accomplished, Sayuri captivates the most powerful men of her day, but is haunted by her secret love for the one man who is out of her reach (Ken Watanabe).

It isn't flawless, but it is inexplicably beautiful. The story, the acting, the music, the cinematography, and everything else is top notch. Well worth the watch for the more cultured audience.
OLD KYOTO IN CALIFORNIA
says
A movie about Geishas, made by Americans in English, in California, on a custom built set made to look like old Kyoto, cast is a strange mix of Chinese actors (or rather I should say actresses) and Asian American (young girl/actress), etc. The dreadful mix of various accents was a shocker indeed (it is spoken in English but with accents). The whole thing felt very phony/ Westernized. But On a positive side, it is very visually pretty, I mean all colourful kimonos, actresses, the hairdos, make ups, Japanese gardens and interiors, exteriors, etc. Make sure that you view the extra features explaining the costume designing, and "geisha boot camp" (training the actresses in geisha-like manners), also explains the music composition and performances using some oriental instruments as well as western string instruments, played by real virtuosos of viola and cello. I did not like the ending, too romantic for me; unbelievable to me. But overall worth viewing for it's . Worth three or four stars. I will be generous: lets say 4 stars, despite some dissapointments mentioned above...
Amelia
says
Really enjoyed this movie! Great visuals and costumes.
Mike Brindley
says
Sumptuous, under-rated pic - though those who've read the book are disappointed. Lead is a touch bland, but Go Li and Michelle Yeogh are great. Cinematography by Australian Dion Bebe won a deserved Oscar.
Julie
says
Having enjoyed the book found the movie a bit disappointing.
Margit
says
Fantastic, a beautiful movie.
Belinda
says
Had high expectations. Found it too long and boring. I didn't really care what happened to anyone. Thumbs down
Kylie
says
Visually breathtaking. Quite long, so possibly not for those with a short attention span, but I found it to be a beautiful and very watchable film. The Chinese actresses are stunning, but I couldn't help but wish some of those main characters were played by Japanese actresses, as that seems like such a critical factor in a movie about geishas.
John
says
A little long winded, but visually splendid and entertaining.
Christine
says
Found the storyline very slow plus hard to follow.
Meaghan
says
I haven't read the book but I love this movie. As others have said it was captivating and extraordinarily beautiful.
Judith
says
Very interesting and engaging movie. Distinctive.
Joshua
says
Beautiful photography, excellent casting and acting....I found it a little difficult to follow in places....but, an overall enjoyable flick to watch.
McLovin
says
I really enjoyed this one, what a great story it is. Costume and scenes were excellently done and the Chinese actors did an amazing job.
ChaosAngel
says
An excellent portrayal of an incredible book. While it us, as is almost always the case, a mere shadow of the novel, it is still recommended watching. Visually snd emotionally engaging, it's a story not to be missed.
Paul
says
This is a window into the world of a young girl brought up to be a geisha in wartime Japan. Although confronting, it is skillfully acted by its two (famous) Chinese lead actresses. We may not be able to relate to the 'other world' life of the geisha but, as a story, it is beautifully told.
Yvonne
says
Loved this one
margaret worth
says
good - happy with it
dulisian
says
Beautiful cinematography and engaging storyline. Highly recommend.
phillip Ralston
says
The film was ok but not what I thought it might be.
Ross M
says
A visually outstanding movie, and with a storyline that keeps you captivated thruout.
Camera work second to none...a must see classic!
nr
says
loved this movie, the history of a geisha, and the actress was great. so enjoyable, not just a girls movie.
John F.
says
Although I got a bit confused at times (not difficult for me), I thought this quite fascinating.
David B.
says
I've lived in Tokyo for 5 years and my wife is Japanese. We gave up after 20 minutes because the characters were unrecognisable as Japanese, certainly as Japanese of that era.
Sonia Q.
says
The story starts off slow, but is captivaing. Beautifully made.
Susanne
says
Good stuff
Willemina G.
says
I found this quite boring but the rest of the family seemed to enjoy it immensely
Clare F.
says
A lovely movie with a happy ending, although not as good as the book.
Jo-Anne L.
says
Although this moving is over 2 hours long, I was interested the whole way through. I have not read the book so I can't say whether it is faithful adaptation but the ending was not what I expected- a bit too sweet. Beautiful cinematography from Dion Beebe and good performances all round. Very enjoyable.
Jamie C.
says
Well worth watching if you are interested in Japanese history and what role a Geisha played in the society at the time.
Brooke W.
says
I love this moving and have seen it many times. recommended if you're up for a quiet night with a few glasses of wine. such a great story and is simple enough that you can catch up and comprehend the basics of the life of Geisha
Elizabeth C.
says
This has got to be one of the most visually stunning movies ever... The story in itself had a few holes, and could've been improved, though it's the type of movie that keeps you glued to the TV from start to finish.
Blueheeler
says
Slow moving but enjoyable reality of Geisha's in Japan. Very colourful.

A most beautiful film, transported me to an earlier Japan. Very involving, emotionally.
Cat C.
says
I preferred the book, but it is visually lush and gorgeous.
Sharon H.
says
Laura B.

Absolutely beautiful. A rough idea is this is a Japanese Cinderella - like movie. If you like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon you will love this.
Marie D.
says
great movie
Cathryn H.
says
Beautifully adapted from a great book
Charmaine R.
says
Guys! Don't get this movie unless you want to impress a chick. Great history on what a Geisha does and is trained for. Surprisingly enough my older kids, two of them boys actually enjoyed it, to learn the historical side.
Kylie B.
says
Interesting - but no match for the book. The accents were quite hard to get used to and the story went on a bit too long.
Michael C.
says
excellent cultural exprerience of 1930/40s Japan. Not just a girlly flick. Classic story grows towards the climax. Strong character actors. Lovey star. The pace of the move suits the Japanese cultural setting. Not to be missed
Maria D.
says
Beautifully made movie, a glimpse into the mysterious life of a geisha.
Sandra B.
says
Very long movie but well worth the time to watch. Takes a while to get going but a wonderful insight to a secret world.
Elizabeth W.
says
Was a pretty awesome movie. With a character you can love, one you can HATE (!!!). I thought though it went a little long at the end. It just slowed right down, and I was almost considering fast fowarding it.. The ending was quiet pleasing though :)
Dee L.
says
A really good watch a real gem with a good story not to be missed
Christine W.

A great Spielberg Movie. Very interesting.

Unexpectedly dull considering the reviews it received
John B.

Pretty good story, terrible dialogue in parts. Also a bit strange that they shot the movie in English instead of Japanese. Oh well, it's still decent.
fleeagle
says
Great Movie, a tragic yet good story of someone who overcomes their circumstances. Definite girls movie but has plenty to hold the guys as well. worth watching.
Alex H.
says
How different the traditions of the world are is beautifully portrayed in this film. The acting is very sensitive set in wartime Japan. A must see
Greg M.
says
I like these type of movies as it has a good storey line & seems almost true.
I highly recomend this movie for future borrowers.

really enjoyed this movie usually i find the books better but this was just as good
Tom H.
says
Peter F.
says
WOW!!! great acting..fantastic costumes..picturesque settings..(almost) a true story of pre-war Japanese culture of Geishas... but from an American viewpoint..would have scored a five star had a Japanese director been involved..my wife adored this film..I was fascinated to the end..wanted more
Jennifer B.
says
Excellent movie. I loved it.
Adam
says
Totally engaging - absolutely enchanting! A wonderful look into Japanese culture midway through the last century. Superb characterisation and plot. A must see
Jan K.

Not quite as good as the book. A little difficult to follow.
Jan M.

Great
Kate C.

I loved this movie as I had enjoyed the book. It's difficult to accept that it was written by a bloke! It's definitely one of my 'best five'.
Kyla V.

Gail C.

I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT BEFORE WATCHING IT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT A GEISHA DID I HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR LIVES NOW
Peter F.
says
Breathtaking cinema..an insight into pre war japan's Geisha community....wonderful cinematography and acting is superb..five stars... easily the best movie for many a month..
Philip W.
says
Saw at the cinema, read the book then bought the DVD. Filmmaker's attempts to update the geisha for western tastes works for me, as does the story. Will be a big moneymaker on DVD for eons.
Kiriath M.
says
Excellent adaptation of a wonderful novel
Michelle H.
says
This is a fantastic movie. I was very engrossed in the story.
Helen A.
says
Beautiful movie. Loved the ending. Was interesting to read reviews of other members, especially those who gave it two stars or less!! I would watch it again and thoroughly enjoy it again. Gives an insight into the world of the Geisha.
Heather T.
says
It was not good as I thought it would be a little disappointed with it but the music was brilliant.
Elly B.
says
OK.
Sue B.
says
Beauty and fear depicted so well. Excellent.
Wendy S.
says
Visually stunning and a pretty good adaptation of the book.
Wayne W.
says
An interesting movie which keeps you involved right to the last minute. Initially had me in by its colours and foreign culture and rituals but totally involved by the end. Its main flaw is a strangely stilted script which is sometimes clumsy in the delivery. Almost like native Japanese speakers being forced to read English (no subtitles, every thing that counts is in English). Good movie.
Jean J.
says
Beautiful but I didn't believe the love story. The Chinese actors cast as Japanese people confused my grandmother, she wasn't sure what all these Chinese women were doing working as Geisha in Japan.
Howard R.
says
Good movie made better by watching the additional material
Sarah A.
says
Excellent film - loved the cinematography on this movie - some of the angles were just right so good to see after the films where you wish the cameraman had moved two feet to the left! Really enjoyable and very watchable - great performance from the evil geisha - really nasty!
Tania P.
says
I didn't find this boring at all. You need to be in a more settled mood for it, after all it's not an action-thriller, but I loved it and got very involve with the characters. Beautiful to watch and great cinematography.
Mavis R.
says
A little hard to follow in places, but well worth watching, we enjoyed it.
Rachel W.
says
Beautiful. Does the novel justice!
Kara N.

This movie could move along more quickly, however, the actors portray their characters well.

A Japanese movie about a Geisha, made by Americans in English with Chinese actors. On paper, it's a misbegotten chimera of a movie, and that's how it felt watching it. The dreadful accents were distracting, and even knowing as little as I do about Japan the whole thing felt very sanitized and Westernized. On top of it all it was long and dull with little real drama.
Jenni K.
says
facinating setting of time wonderful characters and sadness as well as beauty throughout the movie

I found it a little slow and didn't think it really went anywhere.

I've read the book and loved it. I loved the story in the book and wasn't disappointed in the film although it would have looked better on the big screen.
sara
says
It is about a young and poor japanese girl. The girl has innocence written all over her even as an adult.
The movie is different, well told and is worth watching just once.
Eveline F.
says
Too slow moving for me - but I can see how some people might enjoy it
Trevor H.
says
this is an enspireing movie. well done.
Naida C.
says
Julie P.

I thought the special extra about the costumes fascinating and better than the movie itself. So much could have been done with this story, so much was left unsaid and played down. I'm glad I saw it though.
John C.
says
A excellent movie, well acted and beautifully filmed.
Phillipa R.

JM
says
Great story. Fantastic costumes and authentic recreation of Japan during this period. Acting is superb.
Joanne H.
says
an excellent piece of film making.
Trent Hayes
says
This movie is truly outstanding.
While the story is slow, it is so intriguing that it drags you in as you are taken through a thoroughly believable world created by Rob Marshall (who also directed Chicago) and the cast and crew.
Set in the years leading up to, during and for a short period after WWII it is set at a time when Japan reinvents itself and desperately holds onto a culture doomed to change forever.
As a side note, don't miss the "behind the scenes" special features on this DVD, you will not believe which characters can't speak English!
Bradley W.
says
It might not be everyones cup of tea but I enjoyed it.
Leeza H.

Patty M.

followed the book very well. scenery, acting, set and photography absolutely supurb.
Patricia C.
says
An insight into an exotic and lost world. The community of the 'floating world'of the geisha. This adaptation from the book of the same name treats the subject with delicacy and attempts to enlighten we, the westerner, of the strange world of the geisha.
dsmall64
says
This movie was very interesting. It showed the real life of a geisha, not what most of us think a geisha really is. Scenery in parts is beautiful. this is the third time i have viewed this movie. Enjoyed it every time.

Ian Kaing
says
This film adaptation of the Arthur Golden novel of the same name, pleases both the eye and the heart. The film follows the story of a young girl, sold off to pay her parents debt. Her being lucky enough to go to a Geisha house while her sister is not so lucky. As the film progresses it shows how people change and grow to success when they are driven by something they believe in. Something beautiful, something called love.
I give it 4 stars as it was terrific, the only thing i would've liked from this was if the film was in japanese. Now that would be a fantastic!
Andrew C.
says
great movie, the behind the scenes were interesting to.
Veronica E.

I found it worth watching on many levels, escpecially for the costumes and set decor.
Joanna Z.

a bit boring, I'm afraid.

Andrew T.

poppy
says
This was a wonderful/brilliant movie. The insight into the life of a geisha and all that it entails shows the pleasure but most of all the pain they must endure. To love but not love fully would be so heartwrenching. I will be seeing this one again.
Marion E.
says
A lovely movie.
sandi
says
I found this movie a little slow, too many long rainy scenes for me.
Some will find the life of a Geisha fascinating, but I didn't find it so.
many scenes were so dark it was hard to know who was on the screen, I also found the oriental 'music' annoying.
Noreen B.

Interesting in parts but rather heavy going and difficult to understand all the threads of the story.
Debbie L.
says
Sue F
says
Great casting of the child and adult Geisha. Big mistake to have Japanese actors struggling to act in English. Missed much of the dialogue because of this. Japanese with subtitles would have been far more effective. Haven't read book, and won't now.
Vivienne B.
says
Very beautiful, fancinating but limited glimpse of a number of Japanese worlds. Beautiful but limited. Not incisive enough to impress beyond enjoyable viewing.
Anthony A.
says
Watch the featurettes before watching the movies. You'll be more aware of the settings, costumes, music, so will appreciate the movie better.

Eli
says
One of the best foreign films I have seen to date. So very non Hollywood which is a refreshing change. I love Hollywood but it is nice to view a movie that isn't all bang him up or sex being the drawing card for it once in awhile. No violence and no swearing, it was a wonderful piece of film making and a great story of what a Geisha really is all about.
Catherine B.
says
Having read the book my expectations were somewhat high. The film delivered on some points but lacked the emotion of the book.
Andrew R.
says
Ava L.
says
It was disappointing all the actors spoke in English, it lessened the authenticity of the film for me. Also using Chinese actors was a bit of a turn off but maybe that's because I lived in Japan and can tell Asian people apart. As always, the book is better than the movie.
Margo H.
says
Well worth watching. Fascinating look into the world that was Geisha, their training and what was expected of them.
Dianne B.
says
Great movie
Sharon M.
says
Awesome movie - very thought provoking. We thoroughly enjoyed watching this and hope that Geisha's get a better deal now.

I liked this movie, I have read the book, and for a movie based on the book, didn't think they did too badly following the storyline.
The charatcers and love story was captured and the basic storyline followed. Well done.
Chantelle M.
says
Really interesting story.
Leonard S.
says
Pure visual magic! A bit of a better understanding of Japanese culture would have helped more fully appreciate the story but this was more than compensated for by the sheer depth of colour and artistry of film itself. One of the greats!
gol

Slow gentle movie but also deals with the harsh reality orphans face when sold as slaves. Excellent cinematography & music score, suitable for family viewing, unusual enjoyable 'chick flick'

Such an intersting story about the lives of geishas. I cried at the end.
Robyn K.

Brian G.

We loved this film! Could have been partly because we, just the two of us, sat down in comfy chairs for a Xmas dinner of a huge platter of sushi, and watched the Geisha. A perfect, stress-free Xmas Day! And a fascinating film of a fascinating topic.

Annie T.

Fabulous version of the book. Past readers will not be disappointed with the film version. The DVD special features were absolutely fascinating, about the research and training that they undertook to make it as authentic as possible. We watched it over 2 nights as there was so much to see. Absolutely loved it.
Allison G.
says
Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Totally appreciate the underlying ways of a Geisha now, now that I understand a little better too. Certainly love Ken Watanabe more and more...
Mike D.
says
May L.
says
Reading the novel was initiative for me to watch this movie. A splendid tale of trials, tribulation, and finding one’s self all in a beautiful and mysterious setting.
The movie fails to draw out the intense emotions that it had the opportunity to do. I felt that its depth was fairly superficial in terms of how much further into the emotions and journey it could have went.
I felt that the beginning of the movie wasn’t clearly set and those who did not read the novel would miss out on a lot of the context but, overall, it was a fantastic movie, good for a rainy day in but would not win any awards.
Graeme H.
says
riveting history and culture all the way
Kim S.
says
A bit slow but a simply beautiful movie. The music, costume and scenery are compelling.
Kate W.

I found the book to be enthralling, but the movie was a little slow in places. In most cases, I have always found that books are better than the movie.

Having read the book first I was thrilled to see that this movie stayed true to the authors writing. Beautiful scenery, costumes, hair/makeup and music. My mental image of each character was cast to perfection.
This movie will be looked upon as a classic just as Gone With the Wind was. Don't just hire this movie, buy it!

Fabulous cinematography and a great insight Japanese "geisha" culture in the 1940's.
Girls - worth spending a lazy rainy Sunday snuggling up to watch this one.
Guys - snuggle up with your your wife/girlfriend ... who cares about the movie!
Garry I.
says
It starts off very slow and takes you time to get the gist of the story. Once this obtained, it is an enthralling insight into the Japanese world of the Geishas.
Vanessa C.

Good especially if you've watched the book as you have more idea what is going on. Bit of a chick flick.

Excrutiatingly slow and boring, I'd rather have to watch grass grow or paint dry that this drivel.
