Now this is a real geisha movie! If you're like us, and are huge fans of Memoirs of a Geisha and were hugely disappointed by the Memoirs of a Geisha movie you must watch Sakuran. Sakuran is everything Memoirs is not, and instead of focusing on the high class geisha it is centered around the life about a geisha brought into the life of a lower level geisha, a prostitute. Sakuran really brings the story of a geisha's life into an incredibly beautiful and hyper-colored world.
