Based on the Novel by W.Somerset Maugham, this beautifull adaptation is captivating. Walter, a middle-class doctor and Kitty, an upper-class woman find themselves married and living in Shanghai. Kitty falls in love with a married man and when Walter discovers her infidelity takes upon himself a journey of vengeance into a remote village in China that is being ravaged by cholera.
This film has been made with so much integrity and style that you simply cannot fail to fall in love with it. Edward Norton and Naomi Watts create an incredible on screen relationship that is truly spellbinding.
I hold this film in very high esteem and highly recommend watching this completely alone and loosing yourself for the whole 120 minutes. 10/10
