Description
Ang Lee came to the forein the 1990s as one of the 'second wave' of Taiwanese directors. After studying at NewYork University, Lee returned to Taiwan where he directed Pushing Hands, The Wedding Banquet, Eat Drink Man Woman. Austen's Sense And Sensibility was a tremendous critical and commercial success. But it was his triumphant return to the East with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon which has transformed him into an internationally successful director.
Reviews / Votes
"The latest work from acclaimed writer Ellen Cheshire arrives at a time when the reputation of Ang Lee could be considered as being in need of repair. And Cheshire offers an excellent reminder of both his brilliance and his desire to experiment. A thoroughly well-researched and authoritative work, this film by film guide offers detailed analysis and original insights. It's also a pleasure to read and this is both a fine starting point and a lovely refresher for Lee obsessives."--Jason Wood "Creative Director of Film and Culture at HOME "More details
