A Soul Haunted by Painting (Chinese: 画魂; pinyin: huàhún) (also known as Soul of a Painter and Pan Yu Liang (Pan Yuliang), a Woman Painter) is a 1994 Chinese film starring Gong Li and directed by Huang Shuqin.
It is loosely based on the life of Pan Yuliang, a former prostitute turned painter.

Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
The rise of a Chinese painter Pan Yuliang (1899-1977) as she went from prostitute to famed artist in Paris is the focus of this Chinese biography. The film opens with then 12-year old Pan working in a brothel in a small rural town. She is soon hired to become a prostitute after the head hooker retires and is killed. She meets her eventual husband, Zanhua, on her very first night. He already had a wife, but he married Pan anyway, and they moved to the city where Pan studied painting at the Shanghai Arts Institute. The institute is closed after a series of demonstrations of people resenting foreign influences on Chinese art, and from those against the use of nude models. Pan still does nude portraits, but uses her body as the model. She becomes famous after her self-portrait "Bathing Woman" wins a French prize. Since her husband earlier went back to his former wife, Pan is free to move to Paris where her work continued to garner critical acclaim. In China her work was never recognized because they classified it as "depraved."

On Fermentation Family Jul 24, 2015
I’m slowly watching Fermentation Family the second time since mid-June; in addition to all the other comments, may I add that the photography, the cinematography if that’s the right word here, is outstanding! Repeat, Outstanding!
I presume the director, Park Chan-Hong, was involved but nowhere can I find the name of the Director of Photography, as it’s called in the US.
Whomever it was, he or she deserves an award.
