Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (China/Taiwan - 2000) Spoiler Free Primer
Episode 183
Thursday, 26 February, 2026

To repress one’s feelings only makes them stronger. Well this week, Blake and Michael have a lot of feelings in need of expressing. Vintage Cinema Rewind kicks off Oscar season with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon—Ang Lee’s wuxia masterpiece. Blake is an aging warrior who has decided to stop living by the blade. But when Michael attempts to deliver his sword to their feudal lord, a thief steals it from them. The assailant turns out to be a noblewoman trapped both by tradition and the resentments of her mentor. Can Blake and Michael intervene and steer her towards the light? Or will they all remain trapped in darkness? Minor correction: Ang Lee, the Director, is Taiwanese. Where to watch: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - stream online
