Even though there are few moments where the script or acting fails a bit this is very unique story in world of TV series. The brief history of Estonia independence during past 20-30 years offers interesting environment for storytelling in world of finance and patriotism. Characters feel real and they develop throughout the series.
At first the movie feels like the old 50-80's Finnish movies with theatre style acting. The dialog and acting seems a bit clumsy or unintendedly comic. However, during the film this acting style and storytelling turns out to be a key to bring out the story. The story is about humanity and strong emotion states in the actors are used to deliver this message. Towards the end of the movie the director Jari Halonen manages to create an unique and magical atmosphere of storytelling which is too rarely present in movies in general.
The story itself is somewhat complex but interesting. Viewers without knowledge of Finnish folklore Kalevala may have difficulties in understanding the complete plot.

Movies have lot of sex as people are interested about it and it gives popularity to very poor movies also. However, I have seen only few movies which actually tell a story that would not be complete without showing bold sex scenes. The "Lust, Caution" is one of these movies.
This movie is long and goes onward very slowly, but it manages to create a unforgettable atmosphere to a patient viewer. The set and actors make a good work in creating the picture of upper-class life in WWII in Hong Kong and Shanghhai and the resistance towards Japanese occupiers.
The actual story is about a student girl who becomes an agent infiltrating near to Japanese supporting officials. The plot is quite simple, but it manages still leave a lot of thinking to the viewer.
