Great films about Geisha? (not Memoirs of a Geisha)

Post by luckystars »

Memoirs of a Geisha is quite a 'nice' film and all, but what films really capture the true nature/art of the Geisha?

Robo-geisha? ;)
The Onsen Geisha series? ;)

The Geisha is ok... 9 JP academy awards.

Fukasaku also directed a film called The Geisha House but I haven't seen in.

Sorry, I always found geisha boring and never looked for many films about them. Sakuran would be kinda close call, not geisha though.
