In honor of this year's remake of The Wedding Banquet (now in theaters!), we're taking a look at a more troubled Ang Lee romance: his 2007 adaptation of Eileen Chang's novella Lust, Caution. Join in as we discuss the star performances of Tony Leung and Tang Wei, the various censored versions of the film, Lee's use of sex as a storytelling device, and also Sinners because it's too good to ignore! Plus: Why is the first shot a close-up of a German shepherd? Why don't they ever develop a specific plan to kill Mr. Yee? And could anyone resist trying to date Tang Wei's character? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe! Next week: The Kissing Booth (2018) Note: We tried a new recording setup for this episode and some audio is a little funky, but we've worked out the kinks going forward.Key sources and links for this episode:"Focus Won't Sweat NC-17 for Lust" (The Hollywood Reporter)"Ang Lee is Heartbroken by Media Hype of Sex" (China Times Showbiz)"No Sex Scenes in China's Version of Lust, Caution" (CBC)"Lee Admits 'Political Edit' of Film" "Lust, Caution Actress is Banned in China" (Reuters)"Tang Wei's Erotic Sex Scenes Accused of Blaspheming Martyrs" (People (China))"The Dark Side of Your $5 Footling: Business Owners Say it Could Bite Them" (Washington Post)"The End of Hooters" (The Atlantic)
