Do you know Tang Wei? She starred in her introductory role in Ang Lee’s exquisite 2007 thriller “Lust, Caution”. It’s understood that the film outraged the Chinese government. In particular, Tang Wei’s electrifying political and sexual performance took people’s breath away. Some people don’t like that. Tang Wei got blacklisted in the mainland. Somehow the men involved in the same project, men of stature like Ang Lee and Tony Leung, weren’t punished in the same way; more like, given a stern talk. The industry spooks went after Tang Wei with that old misogynistic venom, and from what I understand none of her co-conspirators from “Lust, Caution” appeared to have her back. She got smeared in tabloids and marginalized. She got sent packing. Three years later, it’s good to see Tang Wei re-emerging at the Hong Kong Film Festival, promoting a new feature. I know nothing about this flick but I’m just generally expecting great things from her down the road. -- source link
