A rare opportunity to explore the creative process of modern movie-making. Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain) and his longtime producing partner and screenwriter, Berkeley alumnus James Schamus, will discuss their fruitful collaboration, focusing on the now-classic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Ice Storm—contemporary masterworks noted for their groundbreaking qualities and their contrasting styles and settings. Crouching Tiger, which won the 2001 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, accomplished the astounding feat of selling a Mandarin-language martial-arts romance to mainstream audiences. The Ice Storm, based on Rick Moody's 1994 novel, boldly deconstructs the American family in the wake of the Vietnam war and Watergate.
Presented in association with the College of Letters & Sciences' On the Same Page program.
