Frustrated in his attempts to assassinate Yee, who is an important official in Japanese-ruled Shanghai, Old Wu, who has lost his wife and two sons as well as two women who had attempted to seduce Yee, now recruits Kuang, Mai Tai Tai, and their troupe of drama students from Hong Kong University in yet another attempt to do away with Yee. Mai Tai Tai is chosen to befriend Yee, which she does by posing as the wife of Mak, befriending Yee's wife and her female friends, and then eventually befriending Yee himself. Even though both get together, they do end up going separate ways, only to meet again four years later. This time Mai is all set to entrap Yee at Chandni Chowk Jewellers which is owned by an East Indian man named Khalid Saiduddin. The question does remain: Will she and her troupe succeed?
Leave your thoughts about Lust, Caution.
| TV GuideKen FoxLee has perfectly captured the details, textures, sights and sounds of a China caught between East and West, occupied by an ancient enemy and quaking on the eve of an earth-shaking revolution. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikA meditative, melancholy account of wartime espionage. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt's 158 minutes long, and worth every languorous second. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh Larsen..a rare erotic film in which the eroticism is more than window dressing. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaA rich, beautifully detailed espionage thriller that captures the bygone days of Shanghai - and 1940s Hollywood noirs' romantic evocations of same - Lust, Caution is also one of those rare movie experiences: Its scenes of the trysts between Yee and Mak, from their rough-stuff first encounter to the long, tangled love-making sessions of subsequent meetings, are truly erotic. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThere’s a great, piercing story here, but too often you feel you’re watching it through the wrong end of the telescope. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAn elegant film featuring a stunning debut feature performance by Tang Wei that serves to enlighten us about a little-known resistance movement by Chinese against the Japanese occupiers during World War 2. |
| About.comMarcy DermanskyLust, Caution is a gorgeous film, sweeping you into a different time and place. Tang Wei is disarmingly beautiful, and she gives a wonderful performance in her first film. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe sex is REALLY hot. Not hardcore pornographic (at least by my definition of the term) but close. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyLast Tango in Shanghai? Not quite. Lee's erotic thriller is a logical follow-up to Brokeback Mountain, dealing with similar themes of delusion, empowerment, and frail identities in crisis, but slow pacing and indulgent running time present major problems. |
