Ang Lee
Taiwanese born, Ang Lee (b. 1954) has produced diverse films in his
award-winning body of work. Sometimes working in the West,
sometimes in the East, he creates films that defy easy
categorization and continue to amaze audiences worldwide. Lee has
won an Academy Award two times for Best Director--the first Asian
to win--for films as different as a small drama about gay cowboys
in Brokeback Mountain (2005), and the 3D technical
wizardry in Life of Pi (2012). He has garnered numerous
accolades and awards worldwide. Lee has made a broad range of
movies, including his so-called \"Father Knows Best\" trilogy made up
of his first three films: Pushing Hands (1992), The
Wedding Banquet (1993), and Eat Drink Man Woman
(1994), as well as 1970s period drama The Ice Storm
(1997), martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
(2000), superhero blockbuster Hulk (2003), and hippie
retro trip Taking Woodstock (2009). Thoughtful and
passionate, Lee humbly reveals here a personal journey that brought
him from Taiwan to his chosen home in the United States as he
struggled and ultimately triumphed in his quest to become a superb
filmmaker. Ang Lee: Interviews collects the best
interviews of this reticent yet bold figure.

Ang Lee Returned to His Native Taiwan to Make Eat Drink Man Woman
During the sumptuous four-minute opening-credits sequence of Eat Drink Man Woman, viewers get to see a deft display of culinary wizardry: the brisk chopping of exotic vegetables, the surgical preparation of sea bass, the bubbling pot of lotus flower soup. To shoot these scenes, Ang Lee, who co-wrote and directed this follow-up to his Oscar-nominated art-house hit The Wedding Banquet, employed a trio of top Taiwanese cooks. More than one hundred recipes were used in the film, which traces the relationship between three grown daughters and their widower father—a father who happens to be Taipei’s most celebrated chef.

Annette Bening explores motherhood and mood swings in her latest gem, '20th Century Women'
Audiences may find Bening's portrayal of the bohemian mom who listens to old jazz songs and dreams of piloting a biplane -- and who recruits two younger women, played by Elle Fanning and Greta Gerwig, to help guide her child through the messy terrain of adolescence -- a bit of a puzzle. Looking a bit like Gloria Grahame with big '80s hair, Bening gave a sly turn as a con artist in \"The Grifters\" (1990) that gained her a supporting actress Oscar nomination.\\n

Adam Driver: From 'Star Wars' to Scorsese
Driver shows up at the famous filmmaker's home -- the actor is too much of a gentleman to reveal the neighborhood, but an Architectural Digest spread puts Scorsese's 1860s townhouse on a tree-lined street on Manhattan's Upper East Side -- and the two men, one starting out his career, the other showing no signs of letting up as he hits his 70s, talk \"Silence.\" The film, set in the 17th century, follows two Jesuit priests from Portugal on an arduous journey to and through Japan in search of a missing mentor rumored to have repudiated his faith under fierce pressure from anti-Christian government authorities. [...]Driver, perhaps, for the other priest, Francisco Garrpe? \"It was a Friday evening, and we talked for a couple of hours,\" Driver said, sitting in a Central Park South hotel recently, flashing back to his meeting with the director of \"Mean Streets,\" \"Goodfellas,\" \"Taxi Driver,\" \"Raging Bull.

Damien Chazelle, of 'Whiplash' fame, revives the great Hollywood musical in 'La La Land'
Nowadays, the sane way to stage a number like Chazelle's dazzling \"La La Land\" opener would be to use green-screen digital effects to paint in the rows of cars and trucks, the shimmying throng, the city and mountains and sky.
