Time Out says Rate it
Writer Eileen Zhang might also have named this earlier short story 'Lust, Caution' after her more famously adapted novella. Here, she examines an Electra complex reaching dangerous maturity in a pre-war Shanghaidestined for communism. Lin's adoration of her father finally erupts in the wake of her twentieth birthday, when her mercilessly excluded mother tries to arouse an interest in boys, communist demonstrations, or anything to divert her from her flirtation with incestuous disaster. Zhang plants ample and horribly credible psychological germs for the diseased family portrait she paints. But playwright Simon Wu's adaptation falls short of dynamism. And director Shan Ng has pacing difficulties, failing to either shift time forwards or illustrate key spikes in the tension. Zhang's disturbing story remains a truly wondrous discovery, but this stage adaptation falls disappointingly flat.
