Marshall masterclass well worth the Oscars

Rob Marshall’s Memoirs of a Geisha Girl (Buena Vista, €24.99) picked up three Oscars this year and with its sumptuous costumes and excellent cinematography it’s not hard to see why.

Ziyi Zhang plays Sayuri, a victimised girl who falls for the mysterious Chairman (Ken Watanabe) and resolves to become the perfect geisha.
