[FILM] A Maui Film Festival screening: The Painted Veil. I’ve had a major thing for Edward Norton ever since I saw the opening sex scene in American History X. Yeah, remember that? I rest my case. Not to mention, if he was good enough for Salma Hayek, he’s good enough for me. Amen. Anyway, Norton and Naomi Watts star in The Painted Veil, a celebrated drama set in China during the cholera epidemic of the 1920’s. The basic deal is that Watts and Norton get married as a convenience kind of thing, they go to China where he’s a bacteriologist, he works too much, she cheats with some hot guy, he finds out and gets mad, he gets even by taking her to a highly infectious little part of China where people are dropping like flies from cholera, they make up. The End. Tickets: $10. Castle Theater, Maui Arts and Cultural Center, 242-7469. [LILIANA BEGLEY]
