Lust, Caution

Who's in it? Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Wei Tang, Joan Chen
What's it about? A young woman gets swept up in a dangerous game of emotional intrigue with a powerful political figure.
What type of film is it? Drama
Is it any good? If you can get past the fact that it is not in English then you are half way there to getting sucked in to what is one of the best dramas of 2007. An espionage thriller set in WWII-era Shanghai directed by the same guy as did Brokeback Mountain, this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, however it well worth seeking out. Powerful
performances where the silences speak louder than any script ever could, this is a movie not to miss.
