N2  - From case Cover:

Sisters of the Gion follows the parallel paths of the independent, unsentimental Omocha (Isuzu Yamada) and her sister, the more tradiitional Umekichi (Yoko Umemura), both geisha in the working-class district of Gion. Kenji Mizoguchi's film is a brilliantly shot, uncompromisinglook at the forces that kep many women on the bottom rung of the social ladder
