Shanghai, an extraordinary city that has become an epic-center of modern trade also has a rich history to it. In Ang Lee’s latest movie “Lust, Caution”, it portrays Shanghai in times during World War II. Lust, Caution features stars such as Tony Leung (2046, Infernal Affairs) and Joann Chen (The Last Emporer) and welcomes new-comer Wei Tang who plays a young woman, Wang Jiazhi, who finds herself in a deadly plot to bring down Mr. Yee (Tony Leung).
This movie has been receiving good reviews and no doubt any movie that Ang Lee directs will have amazing cinematography. I never was a fan of Brokeback Mountain but I am looking forward to this movie. The cast of phenomenal actors such as Tony Leung and Joann Chen is enough to justify this movie to be seen but include the rave reviews about new comer Wei Tang, I am waiting for this to be released intently. The plot and story line also sound very appealing and just the fact that it is set in Shanghai during a time when it is beginning to westernize will be interesting enough.
This move was release last week in very select few theaters but will be released in more theaters soon. It is rated NC-17 and below is a trailer:
