Title: Beautifully done
Review: This is the bittersweet love story of Kitty, a young woman who marries just to get away from her shrewish mother, and Walter, her shy and awkward husband who is much more comfortable in a laboratory than he is in social situations. The setting is the Chinese countryside in the 1920's during a cholera epidemic. Walter is a bacteriologist who is fighting the epidemic while Kitty is isolated and very bored at home. The issue between them is infidelity and it takes a lot of maturing on both of their parts to face it. The movie is beautifully acted and filmed and it creates a world that is at once believable, yet sometimes horrifying. The background music is stark and simple and creates the perfect background for the story to unfold. This is a movie which is truly a work of art.
