Tony Leung and Tang Wei‘s groundbreaking melodrama ‘Lust, Caution’ to re-release on January 1, 2025 [Official]

The movie ‘Lust, Caution’ has confirmed its re-release on January 1, 2025 and released a highlight trailer.

‘Lust, Caution’ is a melodrama depicting the undeniable fateful love between Lee (Tony Leung), a key pro-Japanese figure, and Wang Chia-chi (Tang Wei), who has disguised herself as his wife in order to assassinate him. It was directed by Ang Lee, director of ‘Life of Pi’.

The highlight trailer released this time captures attention by starting with Lee (Tony Leung) and Wang Chia-chi (Tang Wei) reuniting in Shanghai. Wang Chiaz, who expresses her resentment toward the one who suddenly left while also expressing her deepening feelings, and Lee, who embraces her, show two people who have fallen in love that cannot be denied.

Then, Wang Chiaz’s line, “He digs into me like a snake. Even into my heart...” shows her complex feelings as she falls in love with the target of her assassination. The copylines ‘Boiling desire, 色’, ‘Cold suspicion, 戒’ refer to the meaning contained in the title ‘Sex, 戒’, and make us look forward to a sensual romance in which they constantly long for each other while going back and forth between desire and suspicion.

The copyline ‘Cannes Film Festival, Golden Horse Award, Golden Crest Best Actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai’ makes us look forward to the unique acting of Tony Leung Chiu-wai, who won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for ‘In the Mood for Love’ and holds the record for the most awards in the Best Actor category with seven Golden Crest Awards and three Golden Horse Awards. Lastly, the copylines ‘‘Late Autumn’‘Decision to Break Up’ Tang Wei’ increase curiosity and anticipation for Tang Wei‘s early works, who boasts a trustworthy melodramatic filmography.

‘Lust, Caution’ will be released exclusively at CGV on January 1, 2025.
