A willful and selfish woman, Kitty, in order to escape from the traditional life circle in the United Kingdom, rashly agreed to the proposal of Dr. Walter, and came to war-torn China together.
However, he found that he could not adapt to the unfamiliar and chaotic environment, as well as her husband's rigorous and conservative attitude towards life.
She needs intense love, a comfortable life.
Her dissatisfaction with reality and her vanity allow the married man Charlie to take advantage of it, and after several cheating, Walter finally finds out.
Walter's stoic personality leads him to take a unique approach to revenge, giving Kitty the choice between getting a divorce or going to the Plaguelands together.
Walter's hidden love and uncontrollable hatred tormented her, and he tortured himself.
In the mountainous area ravaged by the epidemic, Water's spirit of selfless work gradually infected Kitty, making him also devote himself to the volunteer work of the monastery.
She found that she began to fall in love with this silent and noble man, and also overturned the definition of love in the past - passion is sometimes too short-lived and hypocritical, only dedication and tolerance are beautiful and eternal love.

    Maybe I'm superficial, but I love this movie many times more than Maugham's original book. .

    Love is always a topic we talk about in ancient and modern times and at home and abroad. I always feel that foreign romance films are deeper and more resonant.

The Painted Veil quotes

  • Walter Fane: I'd like to press on, if you don't mind.

    Kitty Fane: Surely my comforts are no concern to you.

  • Walter Fane: Do you like flowers?

    Kitty Fane: Not particularly, no. Well, I mean yes, but we don't really have them around the house. Mother says, "Why purchase something you can grow for free?" Then, we don't really grow them either. It does silly really. To put all that effort into something that's just going to die.
