If you loved Eat Drink Man Woman, try Gefahr und Begierde
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Ang Lee, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Eat Drink Man Woman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Gefahr und Begierde is
A Shanghai teahouse, 1939. A silk scarf slides from a man’s wrist as a woman’s gloved fingers tighten around it. A student actress enlists in a radical plot: woo a puppet official, then slit his throat with a blade hidden in garters. Lee’s wartime melodrama folds romance into betrayal like origami, edges dulled by candlelight.
