Beautiful!

Beautiful story, beautiful music. Naomi and Edward were fantastic in this romantic drama. Must see and own. July 13, 2008

Captivating story....

of love, lust, betrayal,forced circumstances.How amidst such negative influences some of the characters found a sense of purpose and fulfillment helping others in far more dire situations. Beautiful cinematography plus Norton and Watts brought the story to life. July 11, 2008

A beautiful classic movie to add to your video library. The actors and the score are outstanding, as well as the cinematography. July 6, 2008

Heartwrenching

Loved the movie! Spellbinding! Time lost being selfish. So little time to know true love! Award winning film!! July 3, 2008

Perfect

"And God instructed Hosea to take a harlot wife, as an example of His love for Israel" A story of one man's jealous love, for his immature bride.

Based on the book by W. Somerset Maugham. Naomi Watts and Edward Norton bring to life a poignant and evolving relationship, between a stern, awkward young doctor and his spoiled bride. A haunting score compliments their understated performances, brilliantly set in south China. Their story unfolds, a story of a faithless bride, caught by her husband and forced to follow him to a cholera outbreak, and ultimately, the restoration of their relationship to a level far deeper than ever before.

The tensions in the air are beautiful, and the development and growth in the characters are refreshing. Excellent score! I just leave the DVD menu running, and listen to that one song over and over. But the Painted Veil would be moving even as a silent film. June 27, 2008
