Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)
Directed by Rob Marshall
influenced by The Emperor and the Assassin (1998)
'You will get to drink saki and sleep until noon,' Pumpkin tells her, and indeed, this how Hatsumomo (Li Gong, "The Emperor and the Assassin," "2046"), the house's big earner, acts.
"House of Flying Daggers" is immediately given a distinct visual identity from "Hero" with the brilliant Bollywood turquoises and teals of the Peony Pavilion (production designed by Huo TingXiao, "Farewell My Concubine") .
Whether it's flaccid thrillers like Body Of Evidence or In The Cut , genuinely laughable efforts like Killing Me Softly or the increasingly awkward Last Tango In Paris which has aged about as well as a gangrenous wound, few films manage to rise above being mere titillation to become worthy pieces of cinema in their own right.
