Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

SONY MOVIE CHANNEL, 6.25PM ★★★

Ang Lee’s Oscar-winning martial arts epic appeals to audiences across the board. Chow Yun-fat and Michelle Yeoh star as warriors who subdue their feelings for each other to hunt down a sword with mystic powers. It’s a timeless story set in Qing dynasty China. This is an action film distilled to its purest, most romantic essence, and the fight scenes are breathtaking to watch.
