Painted Veil

A couple with a broken relationship learns some valuable lessons about love, life, and sacrifice in this romantic drama based on a novel by W. Somerset Maugham. It's 1925, and Dr. Walter Fane (Edward Norton) is a physician and bacteriologist who has become smitten with Kitty (Naomi Watts), the beautiful daughter of a wealthy and socially prominent family. Walter proposes marriage to Kitty and she accepts; however, while he clearly loves her, Kitty is more interested in her reputation than Walter's feelings, as she's recently turned 25, an age by which most of her peers have already wed. Kitty and Walter move to Shanghai, where he sets up a practice and she takes a lover, the British Vice Consul Charles Townsend (Liev Schreiber). When Walter learns of his wife's infidelity, he becomes furious, and impulsively volunteers to travel to China to work in a village stricken with a major cholera epidemic. While Walter's actions are meant to punish Kitty rather than reflect his own benevolence, the daily trials of living in a community in crisis have a striking impact on the couple, giving them a new and deeper perspective on their relationship. The Painted Veil is the third screen adaptation of Maugham's best-selling novel of the same name; a 1934 version starred Greta Garbo and Herbert Marshall, while Eleanor Parker and Bill Travers played the leads in a 1957 remake titled The Seventh Sin. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I LOVE NAOMI WATTS !!! Ditambah lagi ada kabar kalo do'i mau ikutan main di film HP 6 jadi Narcissa Malfoy, wuihh... makin seneng deh ni hati ^__^
Film cinta ini ber-setting thn 1920-an, dimana seorang bacteriologist bernama Walter ditugaskan ke China untuk meneliti virus penyebab mewabahnya penyakit kolera disana yang udah makan ribuan jiwa. Sang bacteriologist jatuh cinta dengan si cantik Kitty & melamar Kitty. Kitty - gadis cerdas yang blm pernah dan belum perlu merasa jatuh cinta dengan seseorang - dengan mengejutkan menerima lamaran Walter walau do'i ga cinta sama Walter. Semua itu dia lakukan supaya dia bisa lepas dari jeratan tirani ibunya [karena dia tau Walter akan ditugaskan ke China]. Di China, Kitty selingkuh dengan cowo lain & ketauan sama Walter. Akhirnya Walter merencanakan get even ke Kitty dengan membawa dia ke daerah pelosok China yang jauh banget dari peradaban, sengaja ngebuat Kitty tersiksa disana.
Tapiiii, justru dari situ Kitty sadar kalau suaminya ini adalah lelaki yang paling baik didunia!!!

Kenapa bisa gituh?
:) Watch it, then...
