Lust, Caution (2007)

Two-time Academy Award winning filmmaker Ang Lee reteams with the writers and producers of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to bring us this sensual espionage thriller set against the opulent yet dangerous backdrop of WWII-era Shanghai. "Lust, caution" stars Asian cinema icon Tony Leung as a powerful government figure who becomes enamored with Wang Jiazhi (stunning newcomer Tang Wei), the young friend of his beautiful wife (Joan Chen). But Wang is not whom she appears to be, and as their mutual attraction turns to dizzying passion, a perilous game of emotional roulette ensues where devotion becomes indistinguishable from betrayal, and murder becomes the ultimate act of love.
