透過「水」在日本文化及其語言裡的含義,勾勒出藝伎被神話化的生活方式。在疊影效果下顯得魔幻的影像,搭上轉換不同語言的口白,以及層次豐富的聲音素材,作者不僅揭示「轉譯」是民族誌書寫的主體性基礎,更「為存在於幻想之中的日本女性形象,建立一種批判的方法。」──影評人瑪諾拉・達吉斯(Manohla Dargis)
Through the symbol of "water" in Japanese culture and language, this film outlines the mythologized lifestyle of geishas. Magical imagery layered with effects and dialogue shifting between languages creates a critique of Japanese women's portrayal in the imaginary, viewing "translation" as the subjective basis of ethnography.
