Mikaela:
For one reason and another I never got around to watching Lust, Caution. I have the DVD though, and now I've got some time on my hands too... but I somehow fear to watch it. Is it very depressing? And/or unpleasantly violent?

(I guess part of my reticence is I know about those much-touted graphic sex scenes of course and I'm afraid I'll feel like I'm just kind of sitting there waiting for those to eventually happen while I watch the rest of the film. Which would be an embarrassing feeling.)

To be brief--yes.

Mikaela:
Thank you, John. I guess I'll go for something else - for now.

Front-Ranger:
Here's a review of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that touches on Brokeback Mountain also and gives some insight into Ang's "obsessions" as they call it, including color symbolism.
