I love when a book is the basis for a beautiful film.
Memoirs Of A Geisha (which
retroism and I saw tonight at my cinema) was utterly stunningly beautiful. It had a lot of faults and parts where it was disloyal to the original story, also some parts that you would have NEVER guessed what the hell was going on unless you knew about geisha or had read the book.
Still, the cinematography almost made up for Zhiyi Zhangs shitty english (I'm sure she just memorised it phonetically) and the story really kept a fast pace.
Ahhhhh such a pretty film~
