Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola y de la Pedrueca, in 1868, accidentally discovered Paleolithic paintings with the help of a hunter named Modesto Cubillas inside Altamira's caves, located in Cantabria, north to Spain. Trying to expose their discovery to the academic world for that they study the paintings, Sautuola crashed against the skepticism and discredit of all experts, who claimed that the caves were false and the paintings made for the own Sautuola, in a effort to get rich. Looking for the truth, Sautuola was the rest of his life fighting to prove that those paintings were real, trying to restore his innocence from the accusations of falsehood launched against him.

这部影片的导演会以选演员的方式来选择摄影师，他会放一部或几部他想要找的那个摄影师拍过的片子，看影片的视觉风格是不是和自己的视觉想象吻合。演员演技是的真好 ，活灵活现、声情并茂、绘声绘色。该片在前作的基础上大胆创新，既保留了中国传统文化的精髓，又加入了流行元素，让所要展现的文化更易于被受众接受。演戏的真谛就是把人生当成一场实验，在一次次的幕起幕落之间探究人生的千奇百怪和悲欢离合。

影评:

1,影片除了精彩的枪战和对峙场面外，对男女感情的描写也显得很细腻。

2,说它唯美也好，超现实也好，这就是一部简单的没有多么深层含义的电影。但是它就能让你过目不忘，意犹未尽。

3,我记得你追我那时有次问我，到目前为止你有没有一点点动心，那怕一点点?如果没有的话我就死心。我即刻毫不犹豫地回答没有。你说，我刚刚还没说完，我就死心塌地地继续爱你。

4, 这部以中国历史人物为题材的多国合作影片，体现了电影艺术在编剧、导演、摄影、剪辑、音乐、美工等诸方面的成就。该片以独特的角度和结构安排，流畅地表现了这个中国近现代史上富有传奇色彩和历史意义的事件。

5,江南意象在片中表现的淋漓尽致，美轮美奂，让观众体验到江南之美的至高艺术。
