Louisa Lim reports:

Step into any Internet bar, and it’s full of young boys tapping away – many of them apparently under 18. If the state-run media is to be believed, China is experiencing an epidemic of Internet addiction among its youth.

A glimpse at Ang Lee’s new film, Lust, Caution:

Accordingly, his film features a few notably revealing and acrobatic sex scenes. (A less explicit cut is being prepared for a possible Chinese release.) These were shot over 11 days on a closed set, with only the main camera and sound personnel present. Leaving room to improvise, Mr. Lee talked through the physical and emotional content of each scene with Mr. Leung (the Hong Kong star best known here for his roles in Wong Kar-wai’s films) and Ms. Tang (who had never before acted in a film). “Ang’s a unique director because he trained to be an actor,” Mr. Leung said by e-mail from China, where he is shooting a film with John Woo. “He’s very quick and intuitive and is always offering his actors something new to work off of.”
