Ang Lee OBS (Chinese: ; born October 23, 1954) is a Taiwanese-born film director, screenwriter and producer.
Lee's earlier films, such as The Wedding Banquet, Pushing Hands, and Eat Drink Man Woman explored the relationships and conflicts between tradition and modernity, Eastern and Western. Lee also deals with repressed, hidden emotions in many of his films, including Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; The Ice Storm; Hulk; and Brokeback Mountain. Lee's work is known for its emotional charge, which critics believe is responsible for his success in offsetting cultural barriers and achieving international recognition.
Lee has won the Academy Award for Best Director twice, for Brokeback Mountain (2005) and Life of Pi (2012), and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). He is also the only director to win both the Golden Bear twice, for The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Sense and Sensibility (1995), and the Golden Lion twice, for Brokeback Mountain (2005) and Lust, Caution (2007). Lee is the only non-Caucasian director to have won an Oscar, Golden Horse, Golden Globe, and BAFTA.
