The new film from the Academy Award-winning director of Brokeback Mountain and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a startling, erotic espionage thriller about the fate of an ordinary woman’s heart. Based on the short story by revered Chinese author Eileen Chang, it stars Asian cinema icon Tony Leung opposite screen newcomer Tang Wei. The high stakes worlds of obsession and underground resistance are thoroughly explored in this intoxicating tale.
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. – Toronto International Film Festival
Lee is a true master, and his potently erotic and suspenseful Lust, Caution casts a spell you won’t want to break. – Rolling Stone
Golden Lion – Venice Film Festival, 2007
