...With Lust, Caution Lee is charting new territory, trading Brokeback's Ansel Adams vistas for oppressive World War II Shanghai. But Lust, Caution shares with that film a mournful, elegiac tone. "It's this idea of repressed or impossible love," Lee says. "I find that yearning attractive. Somehow, it's my observation of the grand illusion of love: you can never acquire it, or attain it, or describe it.

...drinking.” Zounds! Dios mio! What a revelation! How narrow-minded our focus has been! Have you ever been to a super Euro-club where there is an open bar where no one is drinking but everyone has dilated pupils and is covered in sweat and somehow has energy to dance all night?

...Center themselves - in 1989; or how they'd watched CNN and felt that something awful was happening and called their husbands at work - in Chicago. If we're honest, we'll admit that many of us have those stories ourselves. We cling to them, in a slightly undignified but somehow understandable wish to feel connected to the defining event of our time. To share in the plot line, just as we shared in the grief, to be part of something bigger than ourselves...
