ANG THE AUTEUR千面大導
Ang Lee’s unique style transcends genres – and with Gemini Man, the laws of physics too 李安的執導風格超然不群，《雙子任務：疊影危》機 更突破了物理定律
Few filmmakers’ back catalogues are as diverse as Ang Lee’s – past credits include an adaptation of a seminal Jane Austen novel and a foray into the Marvel universe. The auteur has achieved equal levels of critical and commercial success, with 12 Academy Awards, 14 Baftas and 9 Golden Globes to date. And with the recent release of
Gemini Man, he shows no signs of slowing down.
Tying Lee’s diverse body of work together is an ambitious creativity. One of Lee’s most popular early films – 1993’s
The Wedding Banquet – won audiences with its warm, comedic approach to contemporary social issues surrounding race and sexuality. But this exploration of LGBT relationships wouldn’t be Lee’s only foray; 2005’s Brokeback Mountain, which chronicled a complex relationship between two cowboys in the early 1960s, made over US$178 million internationally and won Lee an Academy Award for best director.
In 1995, he took what appeared to be a step away from contemporary comedy, with an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. But the film strayed from its source material and opted instead for a more modern approach, with male characters who commend rather than constrain the female protagonists’ agency.
A retrospective of Lee’s work would be incomplete without the seminal Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The 2000 film brought Lee’s mastery of the wuxia genre to the global stage, while three years later The Hulk saw Lee put his own spin on the action and adventure genre, in a controversial film that combined the visual language of comics with that of cinema.
Last year’s Gemini Man sees a return to the award-winning experimental visuals Lee last employed in 2012’s Life of Pi. The 4K, 120-frame-per-second film also enlists deageing technology that allows Will Smith to confront a younger clone of himself.
Whether it’s a novel adaptation, a spin on a classic tale or a deep dive into the intimate lives of American cowboys, in Lee’s work you’ll always encounter an element of the unexpected. See for yourself – we have a dedicated Ang Lee collection category onboard this month.
