 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: A Portrait of Ang Lee's
Epic Film by Ang Lee, Richard Corliss
(Introduction), Linda Sunshine, James Schamus, David Bordwell
This is what (amazon) says: "To coincide with the Sony Pictures
Classics release--this elegantly illustrated moviebook captures the
beauty, spirit, and extraordinary talents behind what TimeAsia
heralded as an "instant classic...a rule-bending master-piece that weds
martial arts with sense and sensibility." The latest film from Sense
and Sensibility director is an epic love story and a thrilling action
drama set against the breathtaking landscapes of ancient China, filmed
entirely on location. Based on a five-volume Chinese novel by Wang
Du Lu, the project was scripted by Wang Hui Ling (Eat Drink
Man Woman), James Schamus (The Ice Storm), and Tsai Kuo Jung.
Marking Ang Lee's first Chinese-language feature since 1994, the film is
punctuated by beautifully choreographed fight scenes and dazzling stunts
masterminded by Yuen Wo-Ping, who worked on The Matrix. The actors
include the two most popular Asian actors in the world, Chow Yun
Fat (Anna and the King, The Replacement Killers)
and Michelle Yeoh (Supercop, Tomorrow Never Dies).
The Newmarket book includes the screenplay, stunning full-color
photographs before and behind the cameras, interviews and notes with
filmmakers, features on the history and tradition of martial arts
storytelling and filmmaking, and articles by Time's Richard Corliss
and world renowned film scholar David Bordwell."

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon DVD ~ Yun-Fat Chow
BE READY WHEN IT COMES
OUT
Another reviewer says "Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon is, for lack of a better word, astonishing.
It's easily the best film I've seen this year (a title previously
held by Almost Famous)."
Directed by Ang Lee, this is a movie that had me slack-jawed with
wonder for most of its playing time. The story is a retelling of an
ancient Chinese folk tale: warrior Li Mu Bai (a commanding Chow
Yun-Fat), heartsick at killing, has decided to take the path of
peace. He asks his longtime friend Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh, in
perhaps her finest performance) to give his 400-year-old sword, the
Green Destiny, to Sir Te in Beijing. Shortly after the sword has
been given to Sir Te, it vanishes, coinciding with the arrival of
Governor Yu for his daughter Yu Jen's (Zhang Ziyi) arranged wedding.
What follows is an engrossing detective story involving plots and
counterplots: Lin Mu Bai suspects that it has been stolen by Jade
Fox (Cheng Pei Pei), who may be posing as someone in Governor Yu's
household. And Jade Fox may have an accomplice."

about making the movie! |
"A breathtaking epic love story set in mythical China, where saber
wielding Taoist masters--most of them women--save the day."--Lee
Yanowitch, Reuters
"A sweeping romantic epic with a strong feminist backbone [with] a
generous offering of seriously kick-ass action sequences that make The
Matrix seem downright quaint by comparison."--Michael Rechtshaften,
Hollywood Reporter
[The film is] "a blending, not a collision, of Eastern physical grace
and Western intensity of performance, of Hong Kong kung fu directness and
British attention to behavioral nuance."--Richard Corliss, TimeAsia
