Geisha film reveals 'hidden culture'
While geishas traditionally train for
five years, the actresses in Memoirs of
a Geisha were required to take a crash
course in a range of skills.
"The training was affectionately known
as the seven rooms of torture," says
Michelle Yeoh.
"Learning how to walk in a kimono was
an art form in itself - if you didn't
learn to do it properly it was like
dragging a dead cat across the floor!"
"It was an enriching experience, but it
was daunting too."
