Set in 1920s China during a cholera epidemic: Edward Norton stars as a bacteriologist who proposes marriage to a young society woman (Naomi Watts), hoping to take her with him when he travels to Shanghai. Although she does not love him, she agrees to the marriage so she can leave her disagreeable mother. But when she is caught in an adulterous affair, her husband gives her an ultimatum: either she joins him in a small, disease stricken village, or he will embarrass her by filing for divorce. Also with Liev Schreiber, Sally Hawkins and Toby Jones. Directed by John Curran . . .
