Memoirs of a Geisha, adapted from Arthur Golden’s 1997 novel, presents a visually stunning journey of Chiyo, a young girl navigating love, loss, and identity within the mysterious world of geishas. Despite criticism over casting and a slow narrative pace, the film captivates with its rich cinematography, authentic cultural elements, and powerful performances—earning it three Academy Awards.
