Memoirs had beautiful visuals and dances, but I don't think it as accurate a reflection of the culture as the films of Kenji Mizoguchi which are much more authentic. Check out:
Gion Bayashi
Gion No Shimai
not to mention his other greats like:
Sanshô dayû
Chikamatsu monogatari
Ugetsu monogatari
etc. etc.
IMO Memoirs was a good film, not great, though it had great sets, costumes, lighting, etc.
