Why Ang Lee Is Feeling “A Little Lost” About the Future of Filmmaking
On Tuesday, Taiwanese director Ang Lee received another illustrious accolade, further enhancing his already illustrious career in the arts. This time, it was the Praemium Imperiale, which he received at a formal event in Tokyo. Known as Asia’s equivalent to the Nobel Prize, this award is presented annually to artists across different disciplines. The fact that esteemed film and theater figures such as Federico Fellini, Akira Kurosawa, Jean-Luc Godard, Martin Scorsese, and Catherine Deneuve have received this prize in the past speaks volumes about its prestige.
