      Ang Lee has proven himself to be one of the most versatile directors working today. A Taiwanese-born graduate of New York University, the peripatetic filmmaker has shot productions all over the world, from Taipei (Eat Drink Man Woman) and Beijing (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) to Devonshire, England (Sense and Sensibility) to New York City (The Wedding Banquet) and the American West (Brokeback Mountain). His latest film, Life of Pi, was shot in Pondicherry, India, and Taiwan.

      Here are some behind-the-scenes photographs of the Oscar-winning director from the sets of his two films in the Criterion Collection, The Ice Storm and Ride with the Devil, for which Lee discovered two very different regions of the United States: the frozen suburbs of Connecticut and the wild terrain of Kansas and Missouri.

    I hope Life of Pi makes movie goers want to explore these other movies besides whats out in the theaters. Now if someone told you I just saw Life Of Pi and it was wonderful! Show them one of these two movies to them so they can see more works of this director. Though I don't know how good these are because I haven't seen them yet but I do hope those that like Criterion collection films show them these lesser known gems so they like this directors even more then ever before.
