Review of Lust, Caution (2007) by Cassandra M — 19 Dec 2008
#13: Lust, Caution.
Ang Lee?s follow-up to Brokeback Mountain disappeared from cinemas with barely a trace. A pity, because it was quietly terrific: a spy thriller charting the dangerous (and extremely graphic) sado-masochistic relationship between a resistance agent and a powerful collaborator. Lee shoots their doomed erotic obsession with the cool detachment of a lepidopterist pinning a butterfly.
Best bit: An almost unwatchable botched stabbing. And the sexy bits, natch.
