Ang Lee returns to Taiwan for the premiere of Lust, Caution

Taipei - Taiwan-born director Ang Lee returned to Taiwan Sunday for the premier of his film Lust, Caution and to pick up a 300,000-US-dollar award from the Taiwan government.

On Monday afternoon, Ang Lee is scheduled to attend a book-signing ceremony for the book version of Lust, Caution for his fans at the Eslite bookstore in Taipei. Lust, Caution was based on the eponymous novel by Ailing Chang. It is about a woman falling in love with a spy during the Sino-Japanese War in Shanghai in the 1940s. The film won the Golden Lion prize at the Venice Film Festival on September 8. On Monday evening, Ang Lee plans to attend the premier of Lust, Caution at a Taipei cinema. On Tuesday, he and his production company are due to receive 10 million Taiwan dollars (300,000 US dollars) each from the Government Information Office (GIO). As Ang Lee, now a US citizen, was born in Taiwan, the GIO hailed him as the 'Glory of Taiwan' and wants Lust, Caution to represent Taiwan in the 2008 Oscar for best foreign language film. Lust, Caution is to be shown in its entirety in Taiwan cinemas starting Monday. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
