Too Much Water

This is a shot from the film Memoirs of a Geisha.... which I haven't actually seen. I have, however, read this book and fallen in love with it. Zhang Ziyi (who just might be the most beautiful Chinese woman in the world) plays Sayuri in the movie, a girl sold to become a geisha known for her startling blue eyes.

Mother, the keeper of her geisha house (or oikya) says that she has too much water in her personality, which is always moving and rushing like a roaring stream.

In this shot, Sayuri is stopping a man in his tracks with a single glance.
