Shali Pinto Voice-overs

Entertainingly delightful Satire! An absolute fun watch! 😆

In the film, Marie meets Satomi, Fukushima’s last geisha. Though the two could not be more different, they become friends and face the ghosts of their respective pasts. By ghosts I mean all the people you have lost, the people you miss. And the memories, the smells, the images from home, everything that’s missing from your life. And what we have to try and do is imagine what it feels like carrying all of this around.” Beautifully shot in black-and-white, Doris Dörrie’s acclaimed new film moves fluently between human drama and catastrophe, with superbly judged performances from the two leads.
