FantasyActionDrama

Painted Skin is based on one of Pu Songling's classic short stories in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Zhou Xun stars as Xiao Wei, a fox spirit that feasts on human hearts in order to maintain her lovely, youthful appearance. When General Wang Sheng (Chen Kun) 'rescues' her from a band of bandits and brings her home, trouble brews as the demon falls in love with the general.

VIBE

A visually lush, operatic fantasy where forbidden desires clash with duty. It's a hauntingly beautiful, tragic romance steeped in ancient folklore, where the line between human and demon blurs with devastating consequences.
