“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” was a critical darling and sparked renewed interest in martial arts epics in the US as it found success at the box office. The film is now regarded as a modern classic. The film also won Oscars for Best Cinematography, Best Score, and Best Art Direction alongside 10 total nominations including Best Picture and Director.
An epic set against the breathtaking landscapes of ancient China, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon combines the exhilarating martial arts choreography by Yuen Wo-Ping (The Matrix) with the sensitivity and classical storytelling of an Ang Lee film. The result is something truly unexpected: romantic, emotionally powerful entertainment. In 19th century Qing Dynasty China, a warrior gives his sword, Green Destiny, to his lover to deliver to safe keeping, but it is stolen, and the chase is on to find it. The search leads to the House of Yu where the story takes on a whole different level.
