Das war 2000 in Cannes der große Überraschungs-Hit des Festivals. «Sense and Sensibility with martial arts» hatte Ang Lee versprochen und dies auch eingehalten. In Cannes fanden Gruppengespräche mit Ang Lee und den Darstellerinnen Michelle Yeoh und Zhang Ziyi statt; in Zürich gab es beim Kinostart dann noch Gelegenheit zu einem Einzelgespräch mit Ang Lee. Zusammen genommen vermitteln diese Gespräche nicht nur viel Hintergrund zu diesem großartigen Film; Ang Lee stellt «Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon» auch in Beziehung zu seinem übrigen Werk, Michelle Yeoh zieht Vergleiche zu anderen wuxia-Filmen und zu James Bond, während Zhang Ziyi erklärt, wie sich die Regisseure Ang Lee und Zhang Yimou – dessen Filme «The Road Home» (1999) und «House of Flying Daggers» (2004) mit Zhang Ziyi wir noch in diesem Jahr zu zeigen hoffen – unterscheiden. This was the big surprise hit of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. Ang Lee had promised "Sense and Sensibility with martial arts" and came through with flying colours (and fighters). In Cannes, there were round tables with Ang Lee and the actresses Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi; in Zurich, I was subsequently granted a one-to-one conversation with Ang Lee before the film's theatrical release. Taken together, these conversations not only provide a lot of background to this great film; in addition, Ang Lee relates «Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon» to his previous work, Michelle Yeoh draws comparisons to other wuxia films and to James Bond, while Zhang Ziyi explains the differences between the directors Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou, whose films «The Road Home» (1999) and «House of Flying Daggers» (2004) starring Zhang Ziyi we hope to screen later this year.

Director Ang Lee discusses his new film, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, with Robert Weide. The film tells the story of Billy Lynn, a 19-year-old Army Private who is hailed as a hero in the US after a battle in Iraq. Brought home for a victory tour culminating in a spectacular halftime show at the Thanksgiving Day football game, Lynn experiences a series of flashbacks that reveal what really happened to his squad.
