January 9, 2008: "Lust, Caution" Ang Lee
the Kursaal damage "Lust," the new film by Ang Lee, winner of the last Venice Film Festival. E 'based on a novel of the Chinese writer Eileen Chang, is played by very good actors, characterized by a fascinating story and very beautiful scenes, not excluding those erotic. Yet this was also evident in Cynthia, the prevailing feeling of seeing the American cinema, without those touches of magic and the overall balance, which we offer other filmmakers Oriental truly oriental. The plot is something already seen in the background of World War II, during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai (1937-1945), move and plot in this city and Hong Kong adverse political figures, including the chief financial officer secret pro-Japanese who is secretly threatened by the rebels. Among them is one of her lovers, her favorite, that slips into his bed and soon in his life in order to surprise and deliver it to the enemy, but when he can fit it, also suggests a way to escape and meets to a logical end. Yet this story holds water: for example hard to believe that a man of ice (masterfully played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai) who would kill many, and people used to have things under his control, who insinuated "crawling" in the body and in the mind of his lover leaving you enchanted, not just lust, it is difficult to believe that she suspected that her face not control, you put yourself in his hands. However, we remain fascinated by the skill of the actors, the work of the designer: the long silk dresses of oriental women in high places and their pastimes at the table, the coaches in Shanghai, small restaurants. The charm of the East, closer to hand, that does not stop getting sick.
