Lust, Caution - Recensioner

...Lee is one of the few directors working today who actually seems to have a handle on the concept of time...

...en blandning mellan film noir och kinesisk teatermelodram med politiska förtecken.

...båret af stilsikre billedkompositioner og en i det hele taget helt vanvittig smuk visualisering af et stemningsfuldt Kina i 40’erne.

Conceptually, Lust, Caution has been thoroughly thought-through, down to every lipstick stain Wei leaves on her teacups.

It is impossible to say that Wong Chia Chi/Mrs. Mak likes his tastes in pain and bondage, but they create a fearful intimacy that, for both of them, transcends their lives apart.
