Review: Memoirs of a Geisha
Movies directed by Rob Marshall usually make me shudder (Chicago, and for TV, Annie, Cinderella, etc). Luckily while elements are there, this is a plain drama and a love story. While never reaching the epic proportions the trailer makes it out to be, it’s as elegant and poetic as can be expected. Also, seeing Ziyi Zhang for more than two hours is fresh breeze on the eyes. Most actresses learned their lines by pronounciation, not by meaning, but the emotions are still acted well.7+.
