Ang Lee film gets NC-17 rating
Focus Features has accepted the rating for the Mandarin-language film.
By Robert W. Welkos, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer August 23, 2007
Oscar-winning director Ang Lee's erotic espionage thriller, "Lust, Caution," has been given an NC-17 rating by the Motion Picture Assn. of America, signaling to parents that the film may be inappropriate for audiences 17 and under, and restricting admission to only those 18 and older. The film earned the MPAA's strict rating because of "some explicit sexuality."
Focus Features, which will premiere the movie Friday at the Venice Film Festival, issued a statement Thursday by chief executive James Schamus noting that the company has accepted the rating without protest. Schamus co-wrote the screenplay with Wang Hui Ling.
Based on a short story by Eileen Chang, the Mandarin-language film is set against the backdrop of World War II and Japan's occupation of the Chinese city of Shanghai. The plot revolves around a group of Chinese students who plan to assassinate a Japanese collaborator. The film stars Tony Leung, Tang Wei, Joan Chen and Wang Leehom.
Lee previously directed such films as "Brokeback Mountain," for which he won the Academy Award for best director, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
"Lust, Caution" will be released Sept. 28 in New York City, and then open wider Oct. 5, including the Landmark in West Los Angeles and the ArcLight in Hollywood.

I think I'm going to cry I read from this news in OHCN that Ang Lee might have different versions for the movie.. the one with "some explicit sexuality" and the other one with lower ratings.

Ang Lee's LUST, CAUTION Got NC-17 in America and Shortened in China (...) 2007 August 25 Both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter report Ang Lee’s latest film, Lust, Caution has been rated NC-17 in the US. Let’s hail director Ang Lee, producer James Schamus and Focus Feature for not kowtowing the outdated MPAA by deleting some shots in order to get an “R.” In the US, the censors would make a movie less accessible if they thought it was too extreme. However in China, where the film was made, the policy has always been "cut or no deal." According to newspaper, The Beijing News, a deputy director of the State Film Bureau said those “pornographic shots” had been deleted but there were only a handful of them and it would not affect how the audiences understood the story. There is no movie rating system in China and the regulator has refused, even talking about the possibility of a rating system. All movies have to be made or cut to be suitable for audiences of all ages. By just cutting a few shots, this movie would probably match the "R" standard by MPAA. Ironically, an "R" movie is still not quite appropriate for kids to watch but it is considered safe for everyone in China. Source: www.monkeypeaches.com/ --------- i'll get the dvd too! haha
