Premiere at The 31st Hong Kong International Film Festival
Dir: Ninagawa Mika Japan 2007 colour 117mins









Tsuchiya Anna blasts back in time playing an oiran, a top-notched geisha of the Edo period's Yoshiwara District, navigating brothel politics while trying to cling to the man she loves. The directorial debut of famous pop photographer Ninagawa Mika, Sakuran is an uninhibited display of dazzling colours and flaunting decadence, played against a crashing J-pop beat.
