"A Geisha"
1953
Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi

A Geisha is a portrait of geisha life, a document about the rise of feminism in post-war Japan and an examination of the evolving relationship of two women. One is a distinguished geisha (Michiyo Kogure), the other, a 16-year-old novice (Ayako Wakao) whom she is training. Kogure is alarmed by the young woman's romantic delusions. "The film's charm is the compassionate but completely unsentimental way it regards the two women's friendship" (Vincent Canby). Japanese with English subtitles.
87 minutes.
