Based on a short story by E. Annie Proulx, and with a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize winner Larry McMurtry, Ang Lee's pedigreed western broaches the still-controversial subject of gay romance with sensitivity and lyricism. Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger co-star as 1960s-era cowboys hired to herd sheep in the beautiful, rugged mountain country of Wyoming. When their friendship evolves into a close physical relationship, the men face a flurry of conflicted emotions and fallout, years later, from their women back home. "The fine details of the West are as precise as you would expect from a McMurtry piece, and Lee's adroitness with the excellent cast is on full display" (Hollywood Reporter). A 2005 Academy Award winner for Best Director, Original Score, and Screenplay. With Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Linda Ang Lee---USA---2005---135 mins.

An Oscar-winner for Best Foreign Language Film and the highest-grossing foreign language film in U.S. history, Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is both an homage to Hong Kong martial arts fantasies and a major reworking of the genre. Like Wong Kar-wai's Ashes of Time, it combines exciting fight sequences with a philosophical, character-driven story that is unusually somber for a martial arts film. Hong Kong superstars Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh play veteran warriors out to recover a magical sword from a mysterious newcomer (Zhang Zi Yi), while also fighting off old foe Jade Fox. With the aid of renowned director and action choreographer Yuen Woo-ping, Lee presents wall-climbing and flying sequences in a truly elegant fashion. For all its action movie conventions, it is ultimately a work of visual beauty and intimate emotions. Tan Dun's Oscar-winning musical score features lovely cello solos by Yo-Yo Ma. In Mandarin with English subtitles. Ang Lee---Taiwan/Hong Kong/USA---2000---120 mins.
