Ang Lee's new 2 1/2 hour spy thriller is set in WWII. Its a story about a groupe of college students plotting an assassination attempt on a Japanese collaborator. Young Wang Jiazhi (newcomer Wei Tang) engages in a deep relationship with Mr. Yee (renowned actor Tony Leung) full of twists and erotic intrigue.
As expected of the title, there's a large commotion about the nasty bits in the movie. The Chinese version censored about 7 minutes from the movie, while the Singapore and Taiwanese version remained intact.
Beware if you try to download the title…there are limited releases nationwide here in the states, but retailers are skeptical about any further developments.
