Ewan McGregor and Vivian Wu star as the calligraphy lovers who create their own version of the Pillow Book, 1000 years after Sei Shonagon wrote hers.
As a child in Kyoto in the 1970s, Nagiko’s (Wu) calligrapher father used her body to write a birthday message in paint. Now grown up and living in Hong Kong, she seeks a lover who will use her whole body as a blank canvas. English translator Jerome (MacGregor) reverses roles and becomes the subject of her penmanship. They dream up a plan of creating a new Pillow Book, some 1000 years after Sei Sho¯nagon wrote her diary. The Pillow Book marks a change in direction for Greenaway, with its modern soundtrack and its sensual, dynamic and spellbinding sensibility.
