Reviews

"The most exciting aspect of this research is its fresh discovery of Lee's art and the way that it illuminates his films with truly original philosophical interpretations. The Philosophy of Ang Lee excels in its discussion of Lee's work, and it is a valuable addition to the body of scholarship on his films." -- Whitney Crothers Dilley, author of The Cinema of Ang Lee

"This collection is significant and necessary for understanding the work of the popular filmmaker." -- Kevin Decker, coeditor of Star Trek and Philosophy
