Taiwanese born, Ang Lee (b. 1954) has produced diverse films in his
award-winning body of work. Sometimes working in the West, sometimes
in the East, he creates films that defy easy categorization and
continue to amaze audiences worldwide. Lee has won an Academy Award
two times for Best Director--the first Asian to win--for films as
different as a small drama about gay cowboys in _Brokeback Mountain_
(2005), and the 3D technical wizardry in _Life of Pi_ (2012). He has
garnered numerous accolades and awards worldwide.
Lee has made a broad range of movies, including his so-called "Father
Knows Best" trilogy made up of his first three films: _Pushing Hands_
(1992), _The Wedding Banquet_ (1993), and _Eat Drink Man Woman_
(1994), as well as 1970s period drama _The Ice Storm_ (1997), martial
arts film _Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon_ (2000), superhero
blockbuster _Hulk_ (2003), and hippie retro trip _Taking Woodstock_
(2009).
Thoughtful and passionate, Lee humbly reveals here a personal journey
that brought him from Taiwan to his chosen home in the United States
as he struggled and ultimately triumphed in his quest to become a
superb filmmaker. _Ang Lee: Interviews_ collects the best interviews
of this reticent yet bold figure.
