If you loved The Red Violin, try Lust, Caution
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / Romance / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Red Violin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
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.
