Press Reviews:
"The latest work from acclaimed writer Ellen Cheshire arrives at a time when the reputation of Ang Lee could be considered as being in need of repair. And Cheshire offers an excellent reminder of both his brilliance and his desire to experiment. A thoroughly well-researched and authoritative work, this film by film guide offers detailed analysis and original insights. It's also a pleasure to read and this is both a fine starting point and a lovely refresher for Lee obsessives."--Jason Wood "Creative Director of Film and Culture at HOME"
