As awards season moves full steam ahead, we're back with week two of AntiTrash 2020. As Arthur's shenanigans also continue, we look at a movie from TWENTY years ago. That's right, we're looking at Ang Lee's international smash hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. One of the few non-English language international films to really penetrate the American market place, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon inspired new affection for the wuxia genre, paving a pathway for several international hits in the years to follow. This tale of honor, responsibility, forbidden love, and cool swords is sure to strike your fancy. We talk all about honor and responsibility, Freud, and the Wuxia genre. So, grab your favorite blade and tune in as we continue AntiTrash 2020, and stick around to hear our next TWO upcoming picks.
