About the Movie
Lust, Caution on DVD:
Ang Lee directed this Chinese-language period drama based on a short story by Eileen Chang. The film takes place during World War II, primarily in Japanese-occupied Shanghai, where Mr. Yee (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) is head of the secret service of the collaborationist Chinese government. The resistance targets Yee for assassination, and an attractive, patriotic young woman going by the name Mrs. Mak (newcomer Tang Wei) takes on the mission of seducing Yee to set him up. The heart of the tale is the complex relationship that develops between Mak and Yee.
