The World of Geisha

1973 · 72 min

A quietly sensual and politically tinged period drama that immerses you in the intimate, melancholic world of geisha life.

Overview: The world is in turmoil with the October Revolution of 1917, riots over the inflationary price of rice, and the military expedition to Siberia in 1918. But Shinsuke, a brothel owner, spends his days in the arms of geishas, paying little heed to the events happening around him.
How it feels: Melancholic, satirical, romantic and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, class, gender, work
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
