The movie ‘Lust, Caution’ will start the new year of 2025 with a bang.

The movie ‘Lust, Caution’ (Importer: NK Contents Inc.│Distributor: Destination Inc.│Director: Ang Lee│Cast: Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Tang Wei), winner of the Golden Lion Award at the 64th Venice Film Festival, will finally be released on January 1, 2025.

The melodrama ‘Lust, Caution’, which depicts the undeniable fateful love between Lee (Tony Tony Leung), a key pro-Japanese figure, and Wang Chia-zi (Tang Wei), who disguises herself as his wife in order to assassinate him, is based on the short story [Lust, Caution] by Zhang Ailing, a representative writer of modern Chinese literature.

When it was released in 2007, it caused a huge sensation due to Tony Leung‘s acting transformation and his fatal romance with Tang Wei, and it has been a long time since it was re-released in 2016.

Meanwhile, an SNS viewing certification event will be held from the release date, where those who watch the movie and post a review on SNS will be given a copy of the original novel ‘Lust, Caution’. In particular, the event prize is the world literature collection [Lust, Caution] newly published by Minumsa, which has raised expectations even more. It will be a meaningful gift as you can enjoy it while comparing the differences between the movie and the novel.

The masterpiece melodrama ‘Color, Key’, which opens the new year, is currently being screened at CGV theaters nationwide to great acclaim, celebrating its release today.
