The first full-length study of its kind, the book investigates
recurring themes and motifs across Ang Lee's astonishingly diverse
range of works. From the blockbuster, "Hulk," to the period drama,
"Sense and Sensibility," each film is studied in depth to reveal
Lee's interest in gender, cultural identity, family ritual and
social duty.
The volume not only investigates Lee's greatest successes&
mdash; "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" (2000), which transformed
the status of Chinese martial arts films across the globe, and
"Brokeback Mountain" (2005), which challenged the reception and
presentation of homosexuality in mainstream cinema - it also
discusses his earlier works, such as "Eat Drink Man Woman" (1994)
and "The Wedding Banquet" (1993). By looking at the beginnings of
Lee's career, Whitney Crothers Dilley positions the filmmaker's
work within the roots of the Taiwan New Cinema movement, as well as
the larger context of world cinema. Accessible, lively and
incisive, this new addition to our Directors' Cuts series not only
provides a valuable academic resource but also an enjoyable read
for anyone interested in this acclaimed director.
