The winner of four Academy Awards, including Best
Foreign-Language Film, Art Direction, Cinematography, and Original
Music.
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.
