Painted Skin: The Resurrection

Chinese supernatural fantasy adventure, following on from 2008's Painted Skin. Based on the classic ghost tales written by Pu Songling in the 18th century.

"Xiaowei (Zhou Xun), a millenia-old fox spirit, has been imprisoned for centuries under a frozen lake as punishment for violating the laws of the demon world. Her sheer will to survive attracts the bird spirit Que'r (Mini Yang) who revives her.

"Xiaowei sees two choices: experience true death or become human. She regains her strength - and youth - by consuming the heart of a stranger, transforming herself into a beautiful seductress. Unknown to her, the stranger is the Prince of Tianliang Kingdom." (Shanghai International Film Festival 2012)
