Book Reviews of The Cinema of Ang Lee: The Other Side of the Screen (Directors' Cuts)
Book Review: Absorbing Study of a Major Filmmaker
Summary: 5 Stars
The Cinema of Ang Lee is a detailed account of the director's films from his early Taiwanese work up to Brokeback Mountain (the book was published before the release of Lust, Caution). The author, Whitney Crothers Dilley, provides beautifully-written analyses of the films, grouping them together according to different themes - gender, cultural identity, race, class, globalisation, outsider status - that are prevalent in Lee's work. This approach illuminates the films, allowing the reader to gain real insight into Lee's style. There is detailed research into Lee's background and the production contexts of his work, all of which is communicated in an accessible but erudite manner. The passion and enthusiasm of the author are infectious, and combined with the breadth and depth of the information, knowledge and film analyses, make this an indispensible book for any fan of Ang Lee's work, and world cinema in genera. Five star rating.
