Crouching Tiger doesn't so much break new ground as reconfigure the genre with the pomp and ceremony of Western production values and psychological nuance.

The action plays out in a succession of ravishing set pieces, from moonlit rooftops to the whispering fronds of a bamboo forest.

Whether its ending is tragic or hopeful depends on your interpretation of events. It’s the perfect conclusion for a nearly perfect movie that is all about journeys and paths not taken, about love and all that stands in its way.

Of course Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh but I'd forgotten how really excellent the fight choreography and direction is.

I appreciated the film more this viewing than I think I did 23 (?!) years ago when it was first released in U.S. theaters. Beautiful cinematography that can still wow today's jaded viewer, I think. Well crafted, gentle story of two loves gained and lost.
