Lust Caution
UniversalWhat's the difference between an R and an NC-17? As we understand it, a sex scene gets an R rating if it's depressing or dramatic. It gets an NC-17 if it turns you the fuck on. That, in a nutshell, explains the graphic sex throughout this WWII thriller between the two leads, Tony Leung and porcelain newcomer Tang Wei. Not only that, director Ang Lee has been coyly suggesting that the sex scenes are unsimulated, and we believe him. From the initial that brings them together to the sensuous coupling with a simultaneous climax (complete with her smothering his face with a pillow), this is the mainstream skin flick of the year!
