Memoirs Of A Geisha (12A)

A lavish adaptation of Arthur Golden's novel, chronicling the extraordinary life of geisha Sayuri through 20 years of Japan's turbulent history. Beginning in 1929, the film introduces Sayuri as an orphan living in a tiny fishing village, and follows her rites of passage against a backdrop of decadent 1930s Kyoto, where her virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder and she meets The Chairman, the man whose love she covets but can never have.
