Lee is in Taiwan shooting his new film, a “spy thriller” called Lust, Caution with Tony Leung Chiu-wai (In the Mood for Love, Infernal Affairs). Of course, when I heard spy thriller, I had flashbacks to the old Chinese-language James Bond knockoffs of yesteryear like Angel with the Iron Fists and Interpol. Lee’s new film is likely to be considerably more serious (not too mention controversial), taking as its subject a “group of patriotic students who plot to assassinate the intelligence chief in the Japanese-backed Chinese government during the World War II era.”
