The Painted Veil 2006 LIMITED DVDSCR XviD-ESPiSE
A lot of unknown movies are being released, mainly 2006 DVD releases. This is a romantic drama, but after reading the plot outline I must say I’m intrigued. This movie also appears to be very good with few votes and a high rating. And the fact that Naomi Watts and Edwart “American History X” Norton are in this movie makes it a MUST SEE for movie fans that can appreciate good acting and a deep and good plot.
The third film version of Somerset Maughm’s 1925 novel–directed by John Curran–is ripe with stunning Chinese locales and a smart turn from Naomi Watts as Kitty Fane, the aging English socialite who must put herself in strange and turbulent surroundings before she finds her true self. A complex and beautiful international production, this adaptation benefits greatly from the lack restrictions that inhibited it’s previous incarnations in 1925 (with Greta Garbo) and in 1957 (as THE SEVENTH SIN).
pAfter pressure from her wealthy parents to settle down, Kitty (Naomi Watts) marries mild-mannered bacteriologist Walter (Edward Norton), despite her lack of love for him. Shortly after their vows, he takes her to Shanghai, where she immediately has an affair withCharles Townsend (Liev Shrieber), an English Vice Consul. Walter becomes aware of Kitty’s indiscretion and promptly whisks her away to the mountain village of Mei-tan-fu, where they befriend another English expat, the secretly decadent Deputy Commissioner Waddington (Toby Jones, in an extremely likable performance). Walter begins working to hold an encroaching cholera epidemic at bay—leaving Kitty to ponder her role in the situation as death looms over the village like a specter.
A labor of love that took the better part of a decade for producer Norton and screenwriter Ron Nyswaner, THE PAINTED VEIL is a large, complex, and visually sumptuous production that employed a primarily Chinese crew on its intense location shoots. Norton’s passion for the material is on full display, as he turns in another solid performance. Watts, however, who portrayed another unfaithful wife in Curran’s previous film WE DON’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE (2004), is the heart of the film, all bee-stung lips and sweat on porcelain skin. Romantic, escapist entertainment in the best sense, THE PAINTED VEIL is yet more proof that there is an endless pool of silver screen potential in the classics of literature.

anybody know if the subtitles for the chinese characters are embedded into the movie? (ergo it’s playable w/ subs on dvd divx player)
I got the screener of this movie yesterday off Acetorrents, its a very good movie! Highly recommended.
pls stop calling great movies “unknown movies”. Just because it’s not XMEN-3 or Da Vinci Code.
This movie was just released in USA a few weeks ago so it cannot be that unknown or never heard of.
It definitely sounds like a must-see film, but I think I’ll wait for the dvdrip release. And btw I agree with robert - many films tagged “limited” are far from unknown.
Looks like “King Kong 2″ according to the screens above.
Looks a lot better than the samples on vcdquality, the picture is just a bit soft. Absolutely watchable.
ill wait for the final rip as well
In Europe it’s unknown .; and since a lot of releases happen in Europe it’s labeled as limited or unknown. Since The Illusionist I’m a big fan of Edward Norton, so … I’ll be watching this movie.
all the movies of edward norton are good
for sure
