Edward Norton and Naomi Watts shine in this lavish adaptation of the W. Somerset Maugham novel which they also helped producing. They play a couple trapped in a loveless marriage in 1920's China. After the husband finds out that his wife has been unfaithful, he accepts a position in a remote region to fight Cholera where they find love for each other. Director John Curran makes up after his disappointing "We Don't Live Here Anymore" with this gorgeous film set in the amazing Guangxi region of China with an excellent cast that includes Toby Jones, Liev Schreiber and Diana Rigg. Alexandre Desplat delivers an equally perfect score to the scenery captured by cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh, mostly known for his gorgeous work with Jane Campion.
