Lust, Caution

When an innocent, idealistic, and patriotic Chinese student (Tang Wei) is initially drawn into an underground movement in 1938 Hong Kong with other greenhorn resistance fighters (Lee-Hom Wang, Chu Tsz-ying, et al.) who plan to assassinate a powerful Japanese collaborator (Tony Leung) in Ang Lee's engrossing, intriguing, and erotic thriller, she continues her all-out, artful seduction of the heavily guarded, traitorous political leader and gets close to him 4 years later in Japanese-occupied Shanghai by playing mahjong with his beautiful wife (Joan Chen) with ultimately startling consequences.
