After a short hiatus, Jeff & Chase are back back back again with one of the most prominent and relevant Filmme Fatales in the world right now -- Michelle Yeoh!
Before her meteoric rise to mainstream, Hollywood fame following her Academy Award winning performance as Evelyn Wang (Everything Everywhere All At Once), Michelle was already a well known Hong Kong martial arts actress with multiple cross-over internationally acclaimed films. This month, Jeff & Chase are exploring some of her most famous and perhaps most underrated career performances.
To begin, they are watching the 2000 Ang Lee directed, Mandarin-language martial arts film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The insane success of this film broke barriers and crossed borders to create one of the most commercially and critically successful action movies in history. Listen now to hear them discuss Michelle's focused, quiet, and intentional performance -- stunt queen!!
