Ang Lee’s work demonstrates his
enormous talent and ability, recently honored at the 2001 Academy Awards
with the Best
Foreign Language Film award.
He first gained fame for The Wedding Banquet (1993), once described as
"a cross-cultural, gay Green Card, comedy of errors." He followed that with his first English-language feature films, Sense and Sensibility (1995) and The Ice Storm (1997), both winning numerous awards internationally. He recently returned to his native language in the
Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

In each of these films, Lee has created a world that is foreign to most, yet we find those worlds open to us and irresistible. We are drawn in by the strength of his characters, the stories, and brilliant cinematography.
In addition to his 2001 Golden
Globe for Best Director, Ang Lee also has been honored for his screenplay writing in Eat Drink Man Woman (1994). Mr. Lee was born and raised in Taiwan and studied at the NYU Film School.
