CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON 25th Anniversary

Description:

Ang Lee's era-defining CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON has lost none of its sensual, thrilling power. A grand wuxia epic filled with intrigue, romance, and some of the most thrilling martial arts fight sequences ever put on film (Peter Pau's Oscar-winning cinematography is filled with unforgettable images), CROUCHING TIGER sealed Ang Lee's reputation as one of the world's most innovative filmmakers and brought international recognition to both the wuxia genre and to stars Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun-fat, and Zhang Ziyi. Co-scripted by longtime Lee collaborator James Schamus and cut by his longtime editor Tim Squyres, this four-time Oscar-winner is an artistic apex for all involved that forever changed cinema.
