Brilliant. Great to see Ang Lee doing a Chinese language film again and a film he says was really important to him to share the pre Cultural Revolution history of his parents before it is lost. Set in Japanese occupied Shanghai and Hong Kong this story has it all; espionage, twists, turns, love, sex, culture and war. Beautifully shot, written and directed. A great tale that takes you on quite a ride. Oh and the actors are flawless, one of those films that you forget you are watching actors from the beginning to the end.
