It's not dedicated completely to your subjects, but mixes them in a very
interesting way: Kitano's Zatoichi.

Dear All,

 

I'm preparing to co-teach a course on samurai and geisha in Japanese
literature and film.  

 

I'm wondering which geisha film in particular people have found to work well
in the classroom. SISTERS OF GION is a definite yes, and later Mizoguchi's
could work as well (STREET OF SHAME). 

 

I'd appreciate your thoughts on film titles you have found effective--as
adaptations of major literary works, in terms of conveying particular views
of the geisha themselves, and/or by extension women's place in Japanese
society.

 

Thanks for any thoughts you care to share!

Matthew
