The Painted Veil is a romantic drama I saw first at the Flower Hill Mall theatre, may it rest in peace. I've since watched it at least three times. It is one of my favorite films. Today I downloaded the soundtrack. You see, I was taken with the music. It featured Erik Satie's
Gnossiennes and as such, confirmed my devotion. I became aware of Satie when I served a mission in France. I have photocopies of his sheet music. And hearing it is like hearing something that is already inside you. I do require beauty from films.
