This is a film of startling beauty and originality.

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2000)

Crouching Tiger creates a dreamworld where heroes are unfettered by gravity and the most jaded member of the audience is free to soar in pursuit of virtue and passion. As John Ford created westerns that defied the limitations of the genre, Ang Lee transcends the martial arts genre and creates a work of startling beauty and originality..
