Ang Lee is New York’s most ambitious and versatile director, even if he is rarely credited for it. Who else can say they’ve ranged nearly as far? A gay western (Brokeback Mountain), a comic-book franchise (The Hulk), the most-successful martial-arts film of all time (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), three seminal Asian-American dramas, and, oh, yeah, this classic on suburban-Connecticut dysfunction, now available on a spiffy Criterion DVD. Bonus features include new interviews with almost all of the principals (Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver), plus commentary by Lee and his longtime collaborator and enabler James Schamus.
