Starring Edward Norton and Naomi Watts, The Painted Veil is based on the novel by W. Somerset Maugham. It is a love story set in the 1920s that tells the story of a young English couple, Walter (Edward Norton), a middle class doctor and Kitty (Naomi Watts), an upper-class woman, who get married for the wrong reasons and relocate to Shanghai, where she falls in love with someone else. When he uncovers her infidelity, in an act of vengeance, he accepts a job in a remote village in China ravaged by a deadly cholera epidemic, and takes her along.This movie was filmed in the area around Guilin. Our tour will be spending Days 8, 9 and 10 in this unique and art-inspiring area.
I highly recommend this 2007 movie. It is now released on DVD. I rented it from the KCMO public library.
