Poruszająca historia miłosna, rozgrywająca się w okupowanym przez Japończyków Szanghaju pod koniec lat 30. ubiegłego wieku. Młodzi ludzie z podziemnego ruchu oporu planują zamach na współpracującego z okupantem szefa policji pana Yee. Opracowują plan, w którym kluczowa rola przypada nieśmiałej studentce Wong. Ma ona uwieść pana Yee, osłabić jego czujność i tym samym uczynić łatwym celem. Pomimo obaw i zahamowań dziewczyna podejmuje się zadania. Z niewinnej prowincjuszki zmienia się w wyrafinowaną, epatującą seksapilem wielkomiejską piękność. Ofiara wpada w misternie utkaną sieć, jednak nie wszystko idzie zgodnie z planem. Fascynacja okazuje się obopólna; Wang również nie jest w stanie zachować dystansu i zimnej krwi. Wybucha namiętność o niezwykłej intensywności, która uzależnia od siebie parę kochanków i wydaje się wieść do nieuniknionej katastrofy. (Monolith)

When I left the theatre, I wanted to comment on this new Ang Lee feature with the words, “A film made with feeling, lacking any feelings”. Lust, Caution does contain feelings, however. It is just too emotionally mature to show them. It won’t make you feel any sympathy or compassion towards the characters, and it tells their story in a deliberately impersonal manner. Impersonal, but with the grace of probably the most perfectionist contemporary director. You are a cruel genius, Ang Lee!

Not a bad movie, but I wasn't particularly impressed with it either – not even with the sex scenes. The only thing I found really interesting was the interaction between Wang and Ye, just purely between them, without the others. The rest of it could easily have been skipped; for me it was extraneous = the film was truly excessive in its running time. It didn't leave any deeper impression on me, I just watched it; it didn't particularly appeal to me, even though I love stories like this. I'd say the dubbing had something to do with it; I usually don’t have anything against it, but here it seemed heavily out of place. Maybe if I had seen it in the original I would have given it one more star.

During World War Two, a bunch of rich Asian ladies gather in Shanghai to play Mah-jongg, expecting they will get through the war drinking rice wine, and that there is nothing but joy and happiness in store for them. But lo and behold, every now and then somebody defiles them, then somebody ropes them into something and trouble’s brewing. Ang Lee is a great director. He was probably the main reason why I decided to watch the movie. But I hadn’t expected that the story would be this boring.

A strong mixture of many elements, nationalities, and customs. We have Shanghai in 1942 as a basis, but there are other locations as well, and it's not limited to a single year, which is good. And with four countries co-producing this body of work, and the added exotic bonus of the popular Indian actor Anupam Kher in a supporting role, there really is much to absorb. Including the soundtrack, which spared no expense with Marlene Dietrich's period piece. The sets, costumes, and the actual playing of mahjong are certainly a feast for the eyes... But what I do have a fundamental problem with is the depiction of sexuality and political theater.
