| Brief Description: | Gong Li stars as Chinese painter Pan Yuliang, whose beautiful work was condemned as "depraved" by officials in her own country. The film portrays her dramatic life, including working as a prostitute as a young girl and her studies at the Shanghai Arts Institute, which was later closed for allowing foreign influence and nude modeling. Pan Yuliang finds fame after she becomes her own model and the self-portrait, Bathing Woman, wins international acclaim. In Mandarin with English subtitles. |
