A young aristocrat (Zhang Ziyi) prepares for an arranged marriage, but soon reveals her superior fighting talents and her romantic past. As each warrior battles for justice, they come face to face with their worst enemy - and the inescapable, enduring power of love."(Official Synopsis)
I apologise, we feel bad, but there's no trailer available. ~Ed.
You may never see a more beautiful movie - and certainly no more majestic film has yet been made.
The most exhilarating martial arts movie I have seen.
It's The Matrix spliced with David Lean.
Ang Lee tries a little martial arts on for size with jaw-droppingly exhilarating results.
With its gift for showing things that can't be described, Crouching Tiger's blend of the magical, the mythical and the romantic fills a need in us we might not even realize we had.
We've been told the NZ release date for this flick is Saturday, 1st Jan 2000.
