Lust, Caution
November 10th 2011 23:35
(2007) Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Tang Wei, Joan Chen, Leehom Wang. Dir: Ang Lee.
In occupied Shanghai, a girl’s persuaded to seduce a collaborator by her resistance friends. Takes 90 minutes to get to the story’s heart, but worth waiting for. Vulnerable Wei is brutally treated by her sadistic, self-loathing target, but they connect as pawns of more callous forces. Gripping, sometimes gruelling viewing.
