Pushing Hands 推手 (1991)

(dir. Ang Lee 李安) Ang Lee’s first major film, this is the story of an elderly taiqi master who moves to America to live with his son and daughter-in-law. The dialogue-free first ten minutes sets up the tension in the suburban home wonderfully, and Sihung Lung 郞雄 is excellent throughout as the father. This, together with Ang Lee’s next two films, is available on blu-ray as his Father Trilogy. ★★★☆☆
