If you loved Brokeback Mountain, try Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Ang Lee, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Brokeback Mountain, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is

Ancient China, misty mountains, a sword slices through air. Two warriors pursue a thief and a fugitive, their path crossing a teenage noblewoman's rebellious choice. Ang Lee balances action and introspection perfectly.
