I still dont understand how this got mixed reviews at Venice and yet took home the top prize, is that not a contradiction.

I guess what's also a contradiction is that this was filmed in Shanghai, yet I guarantee it will be forever banned in Mainland China.

Probably no banned, but it has to go through severe cuttings. Chinese censors are okay with showing violence on scree, but anyting that is sexual, political or attacks the communist will get immediate banning.

You gotta love Ang Lee, the guy isn't afraid to take on any kind of project. The Ice Storm, Crouching Tiger, Heck, I didn't even mind The Hulk too much. Look forward to seeing Lust,Caution.
