Movie Reviews of The History and Art of the Geisha
Movie Review: OK but not the best
Summary: 3 Stars
Most of the previous reviews on this DVD did not use superlatives, so I was not expecting much. I paid $6 for the DVD, including shipping, an indication that suggested mediocrity. After viewing the documentary, I felt that it was indeed an OK offering that did give some historical information that I did not know about geisha. The DVD uses mostly still images (a disappointment) and there is only rare motion footage of geisha (probably no more than 2-3 minutes total). Many of the still shots are used over and over (annoying) and the photos are black and whites that have been tinted. In spite of this, I am glad that I purchased the offering since I suffer from geishaphilia and love everything related to geisha. I also ordered "Secret Life of Geisha," narrated by Susan Sarandan and "Memoirs of a Geisha," the movie released several years ago. Looking forward to seeing them as well. Sayonara.
