What is In the scene : Ang Lee about?

Ang Lee  came to the fore in the 1990s as one of the 'second wave' of Taiwanese directors. After studying at New York University, Lee returned to Taiwan where over the next three consecutive years he directed three comedy-dramas focusing on aspects of the East vs. West culture and its impact on the family –  Pushing Hands ,  The Wedding Banquet ,  Eat Drink Man Woman . Considering Lee's background it is surprising that he should be approached to direct the most British of novels, Jane Austen's  Sense And Sensibility . It was a tremendous critical and commercial success. Since then Lee's projects have been both eclectic and striking – he took on the American suburbs of the 1970s and the war-torn American South of the 1860s in  The Ice Storm  and  Ride With The Devil . But it was his triumphant return to the East with  Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon  which has transformed him into an internationally successful director. He followed this with his somewhat flawed foray into the Marvel Universe with  Hulk . His heartbreaking adaptation of Annie Proulx's short story  Brokeback Mountain  brought him international critical and commercial success. But forever the genre and language-hopping
