Crouching Entertainment, Hidden Art

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2001)

Some may like a movie for its entertaining tenor. Others do it for its art. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" comes to remind us all that a motion picture can perfectly combine these two elements, can both entertain and enchant.
Director Ang Lee maestry takes us to a journey through a visionary world of tigers and dragons where our imagination, our emotions and dreams come true. The cinematography is magic and sublime, the soundtrack epic and triumphant, the performances truly emotional (specially by Michelle Yeoh) and the story..., the story is simply extraordinary! An unforgettable cinematic experience.
Behind every scene, every take, from the most outstanding battles to the most introspective ones, there is hidden poetry declaimed by means of images. You just need to develop an eye for this in order to find out what a best picture is about.
