Fabulous Scenery, Uncomfortable Plot
Lustful words of Caution.
An espionage thriller set in WWII-era Shanghai, in which a young woman, Wang Jiazhi, gets swept up in a dangerous game of emotional intrigue with a powerful political figure, Mr. Yee.
Review
The plot is good. The settings are nice.
But the actors... they are so good.
Tony Leung and Tang Wei really takes our breath away.
For the many thousands who believe Chinese movies are all about martial arts this can be a great antidote.
Don't miss this movie for anything.

PopMatter's Essential Film Performances - 2010 (50 movies items)"FROM PAGE TO SCREEN Tony Leung There are few actors from Asia who can convey melancholy like Leung. The glint of a fixed gaze, the slight frown of the lips, even in the way he smokes a cigarette, there’s the air of ineffable sadness about him. As the head of the secret police in 1940s Shanghai, Mr. Yee, Leung’s performance relies on subtle shifts in desire. His pursuit of the student spy, Wong Chia Chi (the luminous Tang Wei) is at first tentative, then urgent and forceful. Her youth and dir"
