"Lust, Caution" (Ang Lee's Next Film)
Kd5000:
An audio interview with Ang Lee in today's New York Times about "Lust, Caution." I'm glad the film is getting so much publicity.

There is a small to medium chance that some of us may try to see this in NYC this weekend:
3:55 Sunday at Lincoln Plaza
:D :D :D :D
Front-Ranger:
In this weekend's Wall Street Journal, Ang Lee mentions his favourite dark romances, a thinly veiled promo for his fim that debuted two days ago. They include Laura, Double Indemnity, Chinatown, and The Big Sleep.
Reviews of Lust, Caution (w/o spoilers) wanted!

Meryl posted one over on the "Resurrecting the Movies" thread. She saw it this weekend with a few other Brokies.

I have some pics to post too, but that'll take me awhile to download, etc.. Mostly I want to say that I thought this was a great film, unmistakably our Ang Lee, beautifully crafted. And at least one shot screamed 'Rodrigo' to me.
I don't want to post any spoilers or start much in the way of discussion until more people get a chance to see it - I now see that it will be in SF starting 10/12, so it won't be much longer before it gets wider distribution. I will say that I found the sexual violence absolutely shocking but it makes complete sense in context.
I think I would have had a deeper understanding of the film if I were more knowledgeable about the history of the period. I recommend a review of WWII in the Pacific - specifically Japan's occupation of China and what was going on in Hong Kong and Shanghai from say 1939-1944.
So - here is a short but incomplete list of things to keep an eye out for so we can talk about it in another month or so. :D
-The use of food or the lack of food
-The use of colors - navy, deep blues, pale lavender, grays
-The significance of mah-jong games
I have another list of spoiler-type stuff to talk about that I'm holding in reserve for now.
