Provocative, thrilling and passionate, Lust, Caution is the latest work from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee. Set against the backdrop of 1940s war-torn Shanghai, this intense and erotic espionage thriller has fast become one of the year's most critically acclaimed films and is now available to own and rent on DVD and Download to Own from April 28 with exclusive behind-the-scenes material.
Based on the short story by revered Chinese author Eileen Chang, Asian cinema icon Tony Leung plays the powerful and ruthless political figure Mr. Yee, opposite the multi-award nominated and rising star Tang Wei, who portrays Wong Chia Chi, an ordinary girl on an extraordinary mission who gets swept up in a dangerous game of emotional intrigue.
Opening a window on Japanese-occupied China, the film charts the fate of shy and naive Wong Chia Chi, destined to portray the sophisticated and seductive Mrs Mak. Abandoned by her father, who managed to escape to England in search of a better life, the impressionable Wong is introduced to fellow University student Kuang Yu Min (Wang Leehom) and persuaded to join his political drama society. Reflective of the many forms of resistance that bubbled under the surface of Second World War-wracked China, Kuang’s plan to use the acting troupe to carry out an ambitious assassination of a despised government figure puts Wong, possessed of a natural acting ability, into the leading role.
As Mrs. Mak, an elegant and sophisticated businessman’s wife, Wong must infiltrate the Yee family home by establishing a friendship with the Mah Jong-loving Mrs Yee (Joan Chen) and in turn gain Mr Yee’s trust. As events and the ongoing machinations of occupation overtake her, Wong’s future is intertwined with that of her alias, Mrs. Mak. In seducing Mr Yee, Wong initiates an intense, brutal and consuming affair, as revealing as it is binding. The scenario proceeds as scripted, but as Wong immerses herself as a cosmopolitan seductress she becomes emotionally entangled in a dangerous game and an unexpected twist ultimately determines her fate.
