Geisha film reveals 'hidden culture'
Based on a US best-seller about a
Japanese cultural phenomenon, Memoirs
of a Geisha opens on 13 January.
The second film from Chicago director
Rob Marshall focuses on the "hidden
culture" of the geisha, Japan's unique
professional female companions.
"It was the kind of book you knew
would make an incredible movie because
it has all these visual elements."
"A place, a time, a unique culture and
mysterious characters," says former
Bond girl and star Michelle Yeoh.
