Lust, Caution
About a month ago, I wrote about my great anticipation of Ang Lee's newest film, Lust, Caution. Last night, I finally got to see it, and it was every bit as good as I expected.
I enjoyed getting to hear a bit of Shanghainese dialect, and also a lot of Shanghai-accented Mandarin. That was fun. But of course, that was only a small part of the enjoyment.
The story was very well-told, and the acting was excellent. I thought Tony Leung was in top form, and newcomer Tang Wei was magnificent. All of the actors did a fantastic job bringing the film to life.
Lust, Caution has definitely been worth the wait!
** I watched the film in Singapore, so it was the censored version. I can't comment on how graphic some of the scenes are in the uncensored version, though that has gotten a lot of comment in reviews. **
