The project, set in World War II-era Shanghai, reunites Ang Lee with "Brokeback" distributor Focus Features and his longtime collaborator, Focus CEO James Schamus, who will executive produce. The screenplay will be adapted from Ailing Zhang's short story by Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" screenwriter Hui-Ling Wang.
This film is about a woman enticing a top ranking official in the occupying Japanese government, in order to assassinate him.
The film is two and a half hour long, but I don’t feel that. In fact, I am glad that Ang Lee gives us enough time to appreciate the beauty of the film. The plot is gripping, and there is a lot to be pondered on. Men have to caution against lust, while for women, they may have to caution against something else.
This film is a really beautiful masterpiece. By the way, the sexuality in this film is so extremely the polar opposite compared to Ang Lee's last film "Brokeback Mountain". I find this very interesting.
