Callimard, modeste employé de l'ambassade de France de Pékin tombe fou amoureux de la diva Song Liling, dont l'interpretation de "Madame Butterfly" le bouleverse. Cet amour va aboutir sans qu'il se doute un seul instant qu'il est manipulé a des fins politiques depuis le début. (texte officiel du distributeur)

David Cronenberg is one of the greatest directors of our time, and even though I'm not a big fan of his last two films, he still proves to me that he knows how to direct exceptionally well. And while I prefer his darker work that is also properly gory, I'm happy to watch some of the other films. The performances of Irons and Lon are so captivating in this film that they take your breath away and scare you at the same time. And yet it's not gory at all. ()
After a year, Jeremy Irons is back with Damage, and it’s no surprise how it turns out with such a poor analyst. Cronenberg, unusually conventional for his standards and with a touch of grandeur, starts to unravel after returning to Paris. It’s a shame there’s no room for exploring the impact of the affair on the diplomat’s marriage or the theatrical ending that played Puccini’s notes at the expense of reality. ()
