Ang Lee's Steamy "Lust, Caution" Victorious At Early Awards
Taiwan showered native son Ang Lee with honors Saturday as his spy thriller "Lust, Caution" clinched seven prizes, including best film, director and actor at the Golden Horse Awards.
The normally reserved director wrapped up his acceptance speech by chanting "Go Taiwanese film!"
The success of "Lust, Caution" at the awards came after the film became a big hit in both Taiwan and China. It generated discussion about its steamy sex scenes and rekindled interest in famed writer Eileen Chang, who wrote the short story on which the movie is based.
