 A sad tale's best for winter Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
The bareness of the landscapes, the desolate fortesses and the use by King Hu of colour tints lend an atmospheric bleakness and otherworldliness to this tale of a stranded spirit - Joey Wang - being pursued by the demon king of Ying Yang and ultimately seeking assistance from High monk Sammo Hung. This bleakness endows the film with a stronger sense of horror than other confrontations with the spirit world such as 'A Chinese Ghost Story', 'Picture of a Nymph' or 'Golden Swallow', with the difference only emphasised by the complete absence of a romantic element in 'Painted Skin': Adam Cheng, playing the failed scholar Hsi Tzu who meets and initially shelters the spirit Feng (Joey), is no more than a married lecher and you feel for Feng's isolation. While it's a decent film, it is rather cheerless and downbeat, but worth seeing nonetheless. There is a fine duet accompanying the final credits, though I am unclear if Joey Wang herself is singing. Finally, while the picture quality on the disc is acceptable, the subtitles, being imbedded, can at times be difficult to read.
