Associated originally with Kyoto’s hanamachi, the word hannarisuggests brightness, charm, and tasteful sophistication. (The film never explains its meaning). Hannari: Geisha Modern succeeds in conveying respect for the hanamachi, its beauty, its traditions, and its fragility today. The “brightness” of the hanamachi comes across most strongly in the...
Hannari’s emphasis on tradition and virtue over-corrects for the sexualization of geisha in the mass media. Memoirs of a Geisha, the 2005 film adaptation of Arthur Golden’s novel, irked people in the hanamachi and its supporters. The creators of Hannari aimed to dispel its strong association of geisha and sex work. Hannari promotion underscores its...
Aspiring for an Academy Award influenced Hannari’s length. Since the Academy requires documentaries be at least 90 minutes, Hannari, at 95 minutes, met that rule. But aiming for a lengthy documentary may have led to Hannari’s overly broad scope and lack of coherence. Hannaridid not win an Oscar. But the film’s homepage shows that it was screened wi...
What are the film’s strengths? Hannari is visually beautiful. Lovely moments come in brief nature scenes of flowers and babbling brooks and closeups of quaint hanamachi streets. Hannari devotes considerable attention to dance. We see the major spring productions at a distance and close-up. We can observe performers’ vivid costumes, facial expressio...
Its overly broad scope, digressions, and stiff parties scenes weaken Hannari.Trying to do too much, the film misses the chance to tell a deeper, more coherent story about dance and the geiko’s life. We see a truncated story of Gion’s famous Oyuki Morgan that ignores the ultimate tragedy of her 1904 marriage to a wealthy American. We spend too long ...
What might the perfect Hanamachi documentary provide? How can we encapsulate a living, breathing, growing, changing tradition—even in a film as long as Hannari? Although the documentary has its flaws, we are fortunate it has preserved even a slice of the rich cosmos of the 21st-century hanamachi.
Setsubunfestivities, marking a “seasonal division,” are among the liveliest in Kyoto’s hanamachi. Maiko and geiko take part in public rituals and teahouse party fun. Our next post explores these rituals and the carinvalesque costuming and comic acts that geiko perform that night. Jan Bardsley, “Film Review of Hannari: Geisha Modern,” janbardsley.we...
Documentary filmmaker Miyuki Sohara examines the role of the geisha in 21st Century Japan in Hannari: Geisha Modern, which captures performances from a handful of contemporary geisha that attest to the skills as a dancer and vocalist that are demanded by their repertoire.
