masterpiece of poetry by Ang Lee

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2001)

This one is already in my Top5.
The wedding banquet, Sense and sensibility and specially The Ice Storm showed a man working, Ang Lee, trying to grow as a moviemaker. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon shows he is already a giant of movies, as Ford, Bergman, Kieslowski, Erice, Kurosawa. This movie has to be remembered and loved in 20, 40 years.
This is the story of 3 women, of two couples. It is not a martial arts movie, is about love, passion, the lost youth, the family, the repression, the bad teaching, about day and night, desert and city, real faces and masks. Society vs Human being inside. It's like an iceberg. It suggests much more than shows.
A masterpiece. 10 points.
