Ce qu'ils partagent

What Lust, Caution 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.
