  • Native name: 李安

Ang Lee is a Taiwanese 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 lives in Larchmont, in Westchester County, New York, with his wife Jane Lin, a microbiologist, whom he married in 1983. They have two sons, Haan (born 1984), and Mason (born 1990).
Lee is sometimes described as a naturalized US citizen but he claims that he is a permanent resident of United States. Lee is a Buddhist. His younger son Mason Lee starred in the Hollywood blockbuster movie The Hangover Part II as Teddy. Edit Biography
