Screenings
- 07th October 2024 - 6:15 PMQueen's Film Theatre presents Ang Lee's classic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) starring Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun-Fat as part of their Art of Action season.
Celebrated director Ang Lee brought wuxia to the West with this sweeping action epic, which won four Oscars and proved Michelle Yeoh’s appeal as an art-house action star.
When rebellious Jen Yu (Zhang Ziyi) steals the legendary jade sword of martial-arts master Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-fat) from his warrior friend Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), she sets off a breathless pursuit across rooftops, lakes, and trees.
Featuring stunning martial arts choreography by Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of the most exhilarating and impressively graceful movies of all time.
“Manages to be both electrifyingly exciting and sweetly romantic... a classic.” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
