Storyline
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Yu-liang leaves a brothel in a small Chinese town, to become the second wife of Mr. Pan. While Pan is away at the revolution in Yunnan, Yu-liang learns to paint and takes art classes at the Shanghai Art Institute, until it is closed for painting nudes. Because she cannot bear him a son, Yu-liang leaves Pan to his first wife, and studies art in Paris, where she wins an award for a nude self-portrait. She returns to join Pan in Nanking in the 1930's, and becomes a Professor until it is discovered that she came from a brothel. She returns to Paris to live the rest of her life there, and finally gains a major exhibition of her work.

User Review
"In A SOUL HAUNTED BY PAINTING, Huang's chronological narrative makes light of Yuliang the artist, audience is none the wiser where her talent comes from, how her skill and style is nurtured and developed, her latter days in France is merely sketchily touched on. In lieu, the film is predominantly keen on showing up the injustice inflicted on her as a woman. From the horror in the bordello, she is no longer a virgo intacta (ravished by her pimp) and obliviously drugged to be sterile even before her very first client, to the wrongs piled on her after gaining fame for her paintings abroad when she is constantly at the receiving end of sexism and male chauvinism."
