(Starz)
A geisha girl falls in love with one of her customers, a young samurai on the run from a drunken brawl in which he might have killed someone. In order to make herself pure, she gives up her profession with the help of her friends, who take her customers yet give her the money. It's all a big misunderstanding, though, as one day the samurai shows up and announces he is getting married to someone else. However, she soon falls in love with another customer, who proves to be a little more dependable when he rescues her from a big flood in the disaster-movie ending. This is basically melodrama, lots of crying and screaming women, although it is beautifully filmed with rich colors and gorgeous cinematography.
