I think most of us should know the director, Lee Ang who made the film "Sense and Sensibility". He has made a latest movie, called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is a foreign language movie. The language used in the movie is Mandarin. There are few well-known Chinese actors and actresses such as Chow Yuen Fatt (Anna and The King etc.) and Michelle Yeoh (Tomorrow Never Dies etc.). What I felt impressed about this movie is it is the Columbia Picture who invested the movie. That proves that how famous Lee An is.
This is a great movie indeed. You may have a first peep at the trailer which can be downloaded at http://www.croughingtiger.com.
What is the movie about? It talked about a hero who born in the before time of China (time of which there are many heroes who knows martial arts, YES there are lots of fighting scenes in this movie), in love with a woman...
I am not sure whether this movie will be (or when) released in U.K.. But what I know is this movie is much appreciated in Asia countries such as Hong Kong, and countries in South East Asia. I do feel impressed by Lee Ang after his great movie of "Sense and Sensibility". What I can say at last about this movie is "This a must see movie indeed".
