No matter what you think of Ang Lee as a filmmaker, you’ve got to respect his ability to tackle almost any genre and make it work. When I look at his filmography I’m constantly amazed at what he’s done - from tackling a big budget Hollywood blockbuster (Hulk) to the 1970’s sexual revolution in a small upscale town (The Ice Storm).

And that’s one of the reasons I can’t wait to see his new movie “Lust, Caution.” So far I don’t know anyone who’s seen the film but I’m sure it’s great.

Anyway, Focus Features has released the new poster so take a look. The movie arrives on September 28^th in limited release.

LUST, CAUTION
