Introduction:
The story of Eileen Chang's eponymous original novel is set in Shanghai during World War II, where various forces are intertwined. A female spy disguised as a student approaches Mr. Yee, another side's intelligence officer's wife to obtain intelligence, but ends up falling in love with Mr. Yee. Although it is a spy-themed novel, the main part focuses on the complicated and tangled love between the two. Take a look at Mr. Yee's inner monologue in the novel to understand the tone of the novel: "He was not optimistic about the war situation. Did he know how he would end up? To have a soulmate, he would die without regrets. He felt her shadow would always accompany him and comfort him. Even though she hated him, her last feelings for him were so intense that what kind of feelings they were didn't matter, as long as there were feelings. They were in the relationship of primitive hunters and prey, tigers and伥, the ultimate possession. Only then does she belong to him alive or dead."
The distributor of this movie is Focus Features, which once distributed Brokeback Mountain. James Schamus, CEO of Focus Features and an old friend of Ang Lee, will serve as the executive producer of this film. Schamus, who has collaborated with Ang Lee on nine films, said: "Ang is making a very exciting movie, and it's unlike any movie ever made before. Lust, Caution is a unique Asian story that will shock and captivate audiences around the world."
