Tales of a Golden Geisha

Tales of a Golden Geisha

1990, Movie, 1h 58min

This thorny sex satire stars the great Nobuko Miyamoto (star of nearly all of director Juzo Itami’s films) as Nayoko, a good-hearted geisha who brings luck to the men she sleeps with—even though most are scoundrels who don’t deserve it. Costarring another Itami regular, Masahiko Tsugawa, as Nayoko’s faithless playboy lover, TALES OF A GOLDEN GEISHA pulls off a tricky blend of humor and drama to comment pointedly on the skewed gender politics of Japanese society.
