Ang Lee avoids comments on latest flick `Lust, Caution`

London, Sept 03: Oscar winning director Ang Lee, who has made hits like 'Brokeback Mountain', tried to avoid questions related to his controversial film, 'Lust, Caution' at the ongoing Venice Film Festival.

Lee pretended not to know much when questioned about the complaint lodged by the Taiwan government over the festival's decision to designate the movie as coming from 'Taiwan, China', a website reported.

Lee answered questions by saying, 'I don't really have that much to say. They seem to be changing it from one to the other. Once you find out, please let me know.'

Later when asked if the lead actors in the movie engaged in actual sex during one scene he blithely replied, 'Have you seen the film?'
