What they share

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