The Prickly Mouthed Geisha Part 2 is a curious little gem from 1960, directed by an unknown entity but packed with charm. Young geisha Kohana's journey to revive her grandmother's restaurant adds a delightful undercurrent of ambition and nostalgia. The pacing has that signature playful cadence, veering between comedic mishaps and heartfelt moments. The performances are engaging, with Kohana's character embodying a blend of determination and whimsy. It's distinct in its use of practical effects, especially in the restaurant scenes, which give it a tactile feel. The film captures an era and atmosphere that feels both vibrant yet slightly melancholic, a reflection of the changing times.
This film has had a somewhat spotty release history, with original prints becoming hard to find, which adds to its collector allure. There have been various VHS releases and a couple of DVD editions, but nothing really definitive. Many collectors appreciate it for its lighthearted take on traditional themes and the way it encapsulates a unique moment in film history. Interest continues to grow among niche collectors looking for offbeat comedies from the era.
