Overview

"Born in Taiwan, Ang Lee is one of cinema's most versatile yet popular directors, whose ability to cut across cultural, national and sexual boundaries has given him recognition in all corners of the world. His astonishingly diverse CV shows him tackling culture clashes and globalisation (""Eat Drink Man Woman"", 1993), period drama (""Sense and Sensibility"", 1995), blockbusters (""Hulk"", 2003) and even the western (""Brokeback Mountain"", 2005). In this book, the first full-length study of Ang Lee's work, Whitney Crothers Dilley uses suggestive readings of gender and identity to uncover the enormous appeal of this acclaimed contemporary director."

...Superb... This is no coterie text for cineasts or crabbed work for academics. Instead, it's eminently clearheaded and lucid, covering all his films in detail, but also containing a perceptive and even profound overview of the inner nature of Lee's achievement.--TaiPei Times
