lust caution
A film filled with great beauty and danger, Lust, Caution might end up as the definitive film on pre-Revolution Shanghai, its decadence and brutality, its glamour and hidden debauchery. The ever-surprising Ang Lee has followed his masterpiece Brokeback Mountain with another film about the frail and elusive connections that bind us together as human beings. This new film also enjoys that reflective but confident tone that powers the strong emotions he elicits from his characters and audiences alike. Lee has a habit of alternating Chinese- and American-based projects; it feels like each time he moves across the Pacific, the level of sophistication and insight he brings to the cinema just gets stronger.
