Broken Hearts Club: Lust, Caution 色, 戒 (China, 2007)📅 Wednesday, December 9th | 🕗 8:00 PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Occupied Shanghai during the Second Sino-Japanese War. A group of Chinese students plans to assassinate Mr. Yee (Tony Leung), an official in the Japanese-backed puppet government, using a honey trap. Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei) is chosen to pose as Mrs. Mak and get close to his wife, then to him. The plan takes years, and the closer she gets, the harder it is to tell what's an act.
Ang Lee won the Golden Lion at Venice for it, his second after Brokeback Mountain. It made Tang Wei a star, and the Chinese government banned her from working for two years afterwards.
"You leave the theatre a trifle exhausted but rewarded by a resonance few films possess."
– Derek Malcolm, London Evening Standard
"A pleasure to watch a film as visually stylish as it is psychologically demanding. I wish it had been twice as long."
– Sukhdev Sandhu, The Independent
