A seasoned geisha and her apprentice maiko are forced to give in to their clients' sexual advances to survive.
This
elegantly photographed tragedy conveys and condemns female exploitation
and suppression in Japanese society; the ensemble is excellent and the
settings wonderfully detailed.
Maltin***: "Beautiful photography by the great Kazuo Miyagawa complements Mizuguchi's usual biting social critique."
