See Lust, Caution
with English subtitles
+ win Free DVDs!
Acclaimed director Ang Lee´s latest film stars Tang Wei, Tony Leung, and Joan Chen in a story of, well, lust and caution in WWII China, as a group of Patriotic Hong Kong students attempts to infiltrate the social circle of a high-ranking Japanese official.
Appropriately, Lust, Caution was filmed in Mandarin (with some Japanese, Shanghainese, and English), making it Lee´s first non-English-language film since 2001´s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Typically, foreign-language films are screened in their native languages with Czech subtitles in Prague cinemas. BUT you now have a rare chance to see Lust, Caution with English subtitles for the next few weeks as Palace Cinemas Slovanský dům has an English-subbed print of the film. For now (till, at least, Wednesday, Jan. 23) the cinema will be screening it once per day, at 16:45.
