Editorial Review:

Description:
Provocative, thrilling and passionate, Lust, Caution is the daring new film from acclaimed Academy Award®-winning director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). Set against the backdrop of a transforming country, a young woman finds herself swept up in a radical plot to assassinate a ruthless and secretive intelligence agent. As she immerses herself in her role as a cosmopolitan seductress, she becomes entangled in a dangerous game that will ultimately determine her fate. Erotic, breathtaking and suspenseful, this award-winning film is being called "exquisitely beautiful" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times) and "lushly sensual" (Leah Rozen, People).

Amazon.com:
Lust, Caution, Ang Lee's follow up to Brokeback Mountain, for which he won the Academy Award® for Best Director, continues his exploration of people with a passion for each other trapped in a world where their passion could be life-threatening, but in a very different context this time. Set in China during the Japanese occupation of early World War II, the underlying plot concerns the story of young Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei), an actress and member of a small group of student resistors planning to infiltrate the home of Mr. Yee (Tony Leung), a high-ranking collaborationist government official, in order to kill him for his role in the torture and executions of Chinese resistance fighters. Chi ingratiates herself with Yee's wife, the sophisticated and cultured Mrs. Yee (Joan Chen) under the guise of being the wife of a wealthy but unseen tycoon. Flashbacks tell the tale of how Chi came to be involved with the resistors: her acting ability is her most valuable asset, and her assignment is to act the role of Mr. Yee's lover, right down to the sex. The story of their love and the painful intimacy it involves for both of them is told through their sexual relationship, which starts out violently, drifts into S&M, and shifts with their feelings, moving from pain and fear to some sort of desperate connection. This is lust with a capital L; the film's sex scenes have become famous for their frankness and acrobatic portrayals (they took 12 days to film), but amazingly enough, it's never prurient. The nature of their sexual relationship, and not the sex itself, is the point. Chi falls in love with the man she's supposed to kill, but there is no stopping the mission and she knows it. The danger of it all collapsing for them both is ever present, and that's the Caution. The cinematography and direction in Lust, Caution is masterful, and every scene is beautiful. The film does drift into a languid pace, and at times one wonders why Lee would feel the need to draw it out at the expense of delaying the crucial climactic scenes. Still, it's a wonderful piece of storytelling that should only help solidify Ang Lee's place in cinematic history as a master of films that express the difficulty of being essentially human in an inhumane world. --Daniel Vancini

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - NC-17 version not cultural intro
My husband and I watched only the NC-17 rated director's edition. We always watch the director edition in order to get his/her sincere cinematic vision. While the production quality, casting, acting, lighting and music were sublime, we had a problem with director Lee's stated mission: to teach modern Chinese generation of their historical past (as he outlined in the interview that accompanied the movie).

If this was his overall choice in literary material to convert to film format, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great story, great acting, GREAT FILM
First of all, if sex in cinema bothers you, then don't watch this. This film is NOT ALL about sex. In fact the story is not centered around eroticism. It just so happens to have sexual content in the film. But I say this: If you are squeamish, OR the natural act of sex offends you OR makes you uncomfortable then don't watch this film.

This is a film for open-minded viewers who don't want "dumbed-down" material that Hollywood usually gives us. If you're looking for something powerful, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A story of love and espionage during the Japanese occupation in China!
After the polemic aroused by "Brokeback mountain", Ang Lee returned to his birthplace, Taiwan miles away far from USA, but extremely tied in style in what concerns to underline and remark an epic of the resistance. It's not a mere casualty in the very beginning of the film, the projection of a brief sequence of "Casablanca" worked out as a simple tribute. Besides, the movie reminds and brings us back to the famous film of Max Ophlus' "The sorrow and the pity" in which the hateful presence of the French ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lust, Caution
This movie is superb. It is set in the time of the conflicts of WWII between Japan and China. I don't know if I would call it a love story, but there are strong emotions and highly-charged sex scenes throughout this movie. Enjoy!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - live a little, get the NC-17 version
The movie is about a Chinese women named Wong who kind of just ends up in the resistance movement against Japan from meeting friends in a play. To me, she didnt seem THAT involved in the situation but kind of fell into it. Her dad was elsewhere (in London, maybe?) and she kind of had nowhere to go. Wong, et al leech off one of their friend's rich parents and head off to infiltrate Mr. Yee's camp (he's the bad guy). Mr. Yee is married and pretty callous annnnnnd he has security out the ying yang so no one ... Read More
