After a failed initial attempt, the group reunites in 1942 Shanghai . As Wong deepens her relationship with the brutal and paranoid Yee, she finds herself caught between her duty to the resistance and growing, complex feelings for her target.
Tim produksi menghabiskan sekitar 20 juta RMB untuk membangun kembali jalanan Shanghai tahun 1930-an secara detail demi keaslian suasana.
Berlatar belakang era Perang Dunia II, tepatnya saat pendudukan Jepang di China dan Hong Kong sekitar tahun 1938 hingga 1942, film ini diangkat dari cerita pendek karya penulis terkenal Eileen Chang. Kisahnya berpusat pada seorang mahasiswi bernama Wong Chia Chi (diperankan dengan luar biasa oleh Tang Wei).
Didorong oleh rasa nasionalisme yang membara—dan ketertarikan rahasia Chia Chi kepada Yu Min—kelompok mahasiswa ini memutuskan untuk melakukan tindakan nyata: membunuh Mr. Yee (Tony Leung Chiu-wai), kepala dinas rahasia kejam yang bekerja untuk pemerintahan kolaborator. 2.

Many reviews questioned whether the graphic nature of these scenes was necessary. For Ang Lee, however, they were non-negotiable and central to the story, the "crux of the movie". He refused to cut them because they were the film. These scenes, which some critics described as "sado-masochistic" and "aggressive", are not meant to be erotic. They are power struggles between two people, a "battle between two wills," not a "pornographic peep show". They are the film's most honest and brutal expression of its themes, showing how lust can be a tool of domination, a cry for vulnerability, and the ultimate act of self-betrayal.
Chia Chi ditugaskan menjadi mata-mata dan merayu Mr. Yee dengan menyamar sebagai "Nyonya Mak" (Mrs. Mak), istri pengusaha kaya.

"Lust, Caution" received widespread critical acclaim and won several awards, including:
The story follows Wong Chia Chi (played by Tang Wei), a shy and patriotic university student in Hong Kong who finds her calling in the theater. She becomes involved with a troupe of radical students led by the idealistic Kuang Yu Min (pop star ). Frustrated by mere performative protests, the group devises a dangerous plot to assassinate Mr. Yee (Hong Kong legend Tony Leung Chiu-wai ), a powerful and ruthless collaborator with the Japanese occupation forces.

Karena adegan seksual yang sangat eksplisit, aktris utama Tang Wei sempat dilarang tampil di industri film Tiongkok daratan selama dua tahun setelah film tersebut dirilis.
This represents the intellect, the training, the political ideology, and the survival instinct. Both characters must maintain absolute vigilance. Yee must watch for assassins, while Chia Chi must hide her true identity.
Secara visual, Lust, Caution adalah sebuah mahakarya. Ang Lee bersama sinematografer Rodrigo Prieto berhasil menghidupkan kembali kemegahan visual Shanghai era 1940-an yang kelam namun romantis. Penggunaan pencahayaan yang kontras (gaya chiaroscuro khas film noir) mempertegas atmosfer rahasia, bayangan, dan kepalsuan yang menyelimuti kehidupan para karakternya.
