• Will Ang Lee Give China More Caution, Less Lust?

  Zhonglun, president of the Shanghai Film Group, claimed that Chinese censors "had voiced some opinions for revisions that Ang Lee has accepted." Thus, it's entirely possible that Lee has been planning a different edit for some time. Yet it seems strangely at odds with what Schamus has said about "every moment" being "an integral part" of the

  first resort. Like director Ang Lee's prior film, Brokeback Mountain, Lust, Caution takes a brisk, brief short story (Se, Jei by Eileen Chang) and makes it fill the screen, with plenty of room for visual rapture and strong performances -- and some space for doubts and questions to seep in, with a distant whisper of controversy about sex (for the

  Lust, Caution, that director Ang Lee just arbitrarily set up his shots without much consideration for what they meant. His only concern is the story, not the art behind it.

  opening weekend average was Ang Lee's Lust/Caution (#8), which grossed $64,000 on one screen. Just like with Brokeback Mountain but for different reasons! everyone is talking about the sex scenes. They've earned the film an NC-17 rating. In New York City, that is more likely to be a boon, than a curse. Both Across the Universe (#6) and Into
