Sex scenes a 'breakthrough'
Eastern Express
THE question on everyone’s lips: What would actress Carina Lau make of the nude scenes featuring her long-time boyfriend Tony Leung Chiu Wai in the film Lust, Caution?
Leung has three scenes in which he bares all in the Ang Lee movie.
Lau, 41, was spotted looking unhappy after watching the film at a cinema. A friend was reported as saying: “She knew those scenes are needed in the film but she didn’t think they would be so daring.” However, she has since changed her tune. Last Monday, she gave Leung 100 marks for his screen performance, saying at a promotional event: “It’s not hard for an actor to go from zero to 90 marks. But it’s hard to break through to 100. He reached this point. It’s glory for Chinese people.”
On reports that the sex scenes between Leung and co-star Tang Wei were real, she said: “I have no suspicion. It’s a success if everybody thinks it’s real. It’s acting. But with so many people around and having to film shot after shot, how could he enjoy it?”
Asked if she minded Leung’s bold performance, she said: “No. I am immune to such things.”
As for his full nudity, she chose to describe his performance as a “breakthrough for Chinese cinema history”.
“It’s not awkward. It’s realistic,” she said.
Leung, 45, plays an intelligence officer in the film whose graphic scenes of violent and abusive sex have earned it restrictive ratings.
He and Lau have been together for 18 years. – The Straits Times, Singapore / Asia News Network
