Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Part of a series of guides to contemporary filmmakers, this essential overview of Ang Lee's films analyses the themes that run through his wide-ranging body of work and provides insight into each film from his Taiwanese beginnings with <i>Pushing Hands</i> to the award-winning<i>Life of Pi</i>to the ground-breaking <i>Gemini Man</i>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Ang Lee came to the fore in the 1990s as one of the 'second wave' of Taiwanese directors. After studying at New York University, Lee directed three comedy-dramas - <i>Pushing Hands</i>, <i>The Wedding Banquet</i>, <i>Eat Drink Man Woman</i>. However, it was Jane Austen's <i>Sense and Sensibility</i> which brought him both critical and commercial success. Then his triumphant return to the East with <i>Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon</i> transformed him into an internationally renowned director. After a brief foray into the Marvel Universe with <i>Hulk</i>, it was his heart-breaking translation from page to screen of <i>Brokeback Mountain</i> which surprised critics and won him new fans. His film adaptation of Yann Martel's <i>Life of Pi</i> gained new accolades and pushed the boundaries of CGI animation, while his love of innovation has continued in more recent films such as <i>Gemini Man</i> starring Will Smith.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The latest work from acclaimed writer Ellen Cheshire arrives at a time when the reputation of Ang Lee could be considered as being in need of repair. And Cheshire offers an excellent reminder of both his brilliance and his desire to experiment. A thoroughly well-researched and authoritative work, this film by film guide offers detailed analysis and original insights. It's also a pleasure to read and this is both a fine starting point and a lovely refresher for Lee obsessives."--Jason Wood "Creative Director of Film and Culture at HOME"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Film lecturer and author Ellen Cheshire has written books on Jane Campion, Audrey Hepburn, the Coen Bros and Bio-Pics; and contributed to books on War Movies, Fantasy Film, Silent Cinema, Counterculture, James Bond and Charlie Chaplin.
