Directed by Ang Lee, this is a movie that had me slack-jawed with wonder for most of its playing time. And Jade Fox may have an accomplice. As touching as the romantic scenes are, the fight scenes are just as explosive and unbelievably fluid. But that's minor compared to the sheer artistry on display here. Much has been written on the strong feminist streak running through this movie.
Women are the focus here, and with no apologies.
At the end of the movie, the audience erupted in spontaneous applause and cheers. Hidden Dragon is one of those rare movies that satisfies your mind and your soul. Go see it.
