Shanghai, 1942. La ciudad está ocupada por los japoneses. La señora Mak, una mujer rica y sofisticada, recuerda cómo empezó todo en 1938. Su verdadero nombre no es Mak, sino Wong Chia Chi. Poco antes de estallar la II Guerra Mundial (1939-1945), su padre huyó a Inglaterra y la dejó en China. Era estudiante universitaria y conoció a Kuang Yu Min, que acababa de fundar una compañía de teatro para fomentar el patriotismo. Wong Chia Chi se convirtió en la primera actriz de la compañía. Kuang, por su parte, convenció a un grupo de estudiantes para que asesinaran al señor Yee, un importante colaborador de los japoneses. Wong Chia Chi colaboró en el plan haciéndose pasar por la señora Mak: su cometido era hacerse amiga de la mujer de Yee para ganarse la confianza de éste y seducirlo. Todo iba sucediendo según lo previsto, hasta que se produjo un acontecimiento inesperado. (FILMAFFINITY) Edit Translation

Reseñas
This film has a very 40's film noir feelng and it's nicely shot. The costumes and set design are pretty to look at as well. The story interested me because living in America, you don't often get a good history of World War II seen from other points of view during that time. There was a lot going on in the world at that time; in China, Spain and Russia not just the major players like England, France, Germany, Japan and so on.
The sex scenes are intense but they lent themselves to the relationship of the two involved. Through their passionate affair you watch the spy and the target fall victim to what happens when you become physically intimate with someone. Feelings inevitably get involved. There were some scenes frought with tension as you watch the woman get in over her head in the name of her cause.
I'm giving this a 10 for great acting, directing and script. This is a very well done film. There is a reason why it was nominatd for so many awards including Best Foreign Film by The Golden Globes and BAFTA.
One of the young woman in the group volunteers to seduce a dangerously callous high-ranking official in the government, who has been denounced as a national traitor. This action proves to be a rude and hard awakening to the inexperienced and naive group of friends. This movie could be said to be a "suspenseful, edge-of-your-chair story complete with a highly stylized appearance" even when a lot of other review batch it I still felt that the staff did a great job with the costumes and backdrops making them into colorful and magnetic field that attract the senses.
The actors/actresses expressions and careful words just show how skilled they were even in acting in a more sinister tone genre.
This film easily captivate the attention, If you are afraid of the explicit sex scenes well you may just pass a good movie for naught. I personally didn't object to them in the least, but I was not expecting much from them to begin with. Well before to watch this you must be sure that you are not offended by explicit sex scene or crude subtitles, I would at least recommend this for the dynamic and feel of the movie.
