Controversy Over Crouching Tiger Review in the GuardianJanuary 2001
Although lauded by British film critics and winning Golden Globes for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was so much a "crashing bore" to the Guardian columnist, Charlotte Raven that she even walked out early. Her emotive review has drawn controversy, criticism and for many Chinese readers, caused offence. By defending the review in the way it has, has the 'free-thinking' Guardian gone too far? You decide.
