《艺伎回忆录》章子怡的暗蓝色眼睛

Memoirs of a Geisha

Based on the best-selling novel by Arthur Golden, Geisha guides us into this fascinating Japanese subculture.

Set in the late 1920s, the story begins with 9-year-old Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo) being forced to leave her family and work in a geisha house.

Although strikingly beautiful with slate blue eyes, Chiyo has no interest in the lifestyle, especially since she is cruelly treated by the jealous geisha Hatsumomo (Gong Li).

But that changes after she meets and falls for the good-hearted Chairman (Ken Watanabe). After he shows her kindness, she decides becoming a geisha will be her ticket to being with him.

Under the tutelage of mentor Mameha (Michelle Yeoh), Chiyo blossoms into the legendary geisha Sayuri (Ziyi Zhang), who captivates the most powerful of men. Still, she secretly hopes the man who once showed her compassion will come and take her away.
