Hollywood's censors think Ang Lee's new movie "Lust, Caution" has too much lust, and they're cautioning moviegoers by branding it with an NC-17 rating.
The Motion Picture Assn. of America's ratings board cited the film's graphic sexuality for its decision. A source said too many of the film's sex scenes violated the ratings board's unwritten rules (like the number of allowable pelvic thrusts, for example) to make an appeal possible.
Sources who have seen the film said it contains at least three scenes -- one a long montage -- featuring multiple acts of aggressive sexual activity in different positions. There's no full-frontal male nudity (the source of some NC-17 rulings when shown in sex scenes), but male-on-female oral sex, non-S&M restraints and several nontraditional sexual positions are depicted, conveying the aggression and emotional conflict between the main characters.
When asked if anyone was shown, say, upside down, one viewer said, "It depends on where you're standing. They're very flexible."

James Schamus/ Focus Features "won't sweat the NC-17 ruling"*What a dynamite way to follow up Brokeback Mountain. -
What I object to isn't all the sex, it's the persisting romanticization of occupied Shanghai. Enough already. That said, I'm judging only from the trailer. I'm sure I'll be waiting in line when the movie opens.

With "lust" in the title and Ang Lee making sure the film lives up to it's title, I'm sure people were hoping for him to go NC-17 on the public.
But the setting, kind of a touchy subject/era to throw in a sex thriller...
