| Sometimes the greatest journey is the distance between two people. |
| A film that’s become just as well known for bringing real-life lovebirds Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber together, The Painted Veil is a touching love story about a woman torn between the two men in her life. The third film version of W Somerset Maugham’s 1925 novel, it features Watts as Kitty Fane, an ageing English socialite who must put herself in some out of the ordinary and tumultuous surroundings before she finds her true self. Fane’s a graceful little thing who thinks she’s in love with a kindly local (Schreiber), but a chance to spend time with her devoted husband (Norton) in an underprivileged village gives her something to think about. The locations are absolutely exquisite, while all the actors – especially Watts, looking as elegant as ever – perform as if their lives depend on it. Yes, they’re THAT good!
