What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1938: an older pace and style.

Set against the backdrop of an imperial victory in the civil war leading up to the Meiji Restoration, Fallen Blossoms tells the story of the sorrows of women in a geisha house in Kyoto by recounting the relationships of its inhabitants.
