Confronting Sexual Themes Head-On.(Movies)(Ang Lee)(Interview)(Brief article)
Byline: Andrew Huang
Andrew Huang
From "The Wedding Banquet" (1993), about a gay Taiwanese man in New York who feigns marriage to satisfy his parents, to "Brokeback Mountain," Lee, 52, has never shied away from difficult themes or bold sexuality. "Lust, Caution" is no different; it earned a rare NC-17 rating from the Motion Picture Association of America for its explicit sex scenes. Lee spoke by telephone with NEWSWEEK'S Andrew Huang. Excerpts:
Huang: What appealed to you about Chang's story?
Lee: Very little Chinese literature describes sex. [Chang's story] is one of the few daring ones. It tells us what women get from sex. It scared me for quite a few years, but I decided to do it.
