The Painted Veil


After subscribing Speak Up Magazine, you can watch some of our films from the library . One of these is 'The Painted Veil' which stars Naomi Watts and Edward Norton. We listen to a BBC interview, how the film is different from the classic English Somerset Maugham’s novel on which it's based.
Vocabulary from the programme
