Rob Marshall – „Die Geisha“ (2005)

Zhang Ziyi tanzt in Kimono und Stolz durch eine Welt, die nicht die ihre ist. Und das ist ein Hollywood-Film über japanische „Traditionen“, gedreht von einem US-Regisseur, gespielt von chinesischen Stars, gesprochen in Englisch. Also kein Ausflug in eine andere Kultur, sondern deren totale Aneignung. Schönheit wird hier nur ausgestellt, aber leider nicht verstanden. (ZDF, Wh.)
