We went seeking greatness in movies, and were most often disappointed. We waited for a movie like the one we wanted to make, and secretly wanted to live. -Roger Ebert paraphrasing a quote from Masculin Feminin

The Painted Veil
I think I liked The Painted Veil when I saw it two weeks ago but I can't recall much about it now. It was a bit long and not a very coherent plot but it was more about the characters than anything else. Naomi Watts and Edward Norton play some extraordinarily complex characters who run the gamet of emotions. This is definitely one of those roles an actor loves to get. The cinematography in this film was also breathtaking to look at. This is a rare US movie filmed in china and the country side is amazing to see. I'm glad I saw it so I can comment on any nominations but not memorable for me as a film.
