Anche in questo caso si ripresenta la stessa questione di American Gangster , visto la sera prima di Lussuria . Nel momento in cui vado al cinema a vedere un film che è stato premiato con il Leone d'oro a Venezia, mi creo delle aspettative abbastanza elevate. Tra l'altro, visto che comunque verrò malgiudicato per questo post, preciso subito che a me Ang Lee piace, in alcuni casi anche parecchio. This time, however, did not have it done. During the occupation of China by Japan, Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei) is being drawn into the ranks of the resistance by the friends of the opera house company. Then pretends to be Mrs. Mak to hit Mr. Yee (Tony Leung), a man at the top of the collaborationist government. To gain the trust of its goal, the young actress takes advantage of the irresistible attraction that Mr. Yee feels for her, but ending up hopelessly involved in the consequences of his actions.
erotic drama with shades and historical-political reality in Lust is not in full any of the above premises. As drama it lacks the passion necessary so that even the sex scenes, as explicit (or perhaps because of it) seem to turn just for the sake of doing so. The historical context is well then leave them out, without any deeper than two corpses thrown into the ground. Mahjong will also be a good game, but after ten scenes of ladies who spend their time playing, it begins to simmer. It must be said, however, that Ang Lee knows his job done, as in the past has done much, much better, and that's why the bottom Lust remains a successful movie in half, that accuracy is half of the acting of Tony Leung. For the rest of little else and diluted in a long time, with the risk of boring the viewer, che pochi giorni dopo si dimenticherà ciò che ha visto.
