Geisha film reveals 'hidden culture'
Set in 1930s Kyoto, Memoirs of a Geisha
tells the story of a girl who becomes
one of Japan's most famous geisha.
Arthur Golden's 1997 book sold four
million copies in English and was
translated into 32 languages.
"The movie is very highly anticipated,
particularly for us as Asians," says
Michelle Yeoh, who plays geisha Mameha.
"This is a very rare opportunity, to
have a movie of such scope and an
entire cast of Asians given the
opportunity to show what we can do."
