Ang Lee
Ang Lee—
Brokeback Mountain
—11/28/05
Ang Lee on
Brokeback Mountain
: 'If I think about messing with the western genre, that's very scary. I'd better not think about it--stay with a love story.'
Ang Lee & Tang Wei—
Lust, Caution
—10/05/07
Ang Lee & Tang Wei: "[Lee:] They say, 'No pain, no gain.'...Sometimes I'll have a sleepless night, and in the morning I'll start to cry and I feel like I was in Mr. Yee's torture chamber."
Ang Lee—
Life of Pi
,
Hulk
,
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

My role, I think, as much as the book, is provide a platform so people can talk about the irrational.
Hulk (2003)
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
With
Brokeback Mountain
, Ang Lee paints...symbolist drama (is it coincidental that the film begins in Signal, Wyoming?).
Sie, jie (Lust, Caution) (2007)
Lee provides no such easy comfort, instead keeping audiences constantly off-kilter, purposefully frustrating them with character behavior that's just...wrong.
Taking Woodstock (2009)
On balance...like Teichberg—takes after its immigrant American father, evincing a quiet humility in offering its rambling 'little perspective' of an emblematic happening that was almost everything it was cracked up to be.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
Lee brought a distinct elegance to the wuxia genre of mythic, lyrical martial arts pictures...a breathtaking visual and emotional experience for the viewer...
Life of Pi (2012)
In the hands of Ang Lee, a true film artist,
Life of Pi
elegantly walks Martel's philosophical line while also brilliantly using every modern cinematic tool to spin an epic yarn.
