Ang Lee
Over the years Woodstock got glorified and romanticised and became the event that symbolised Utopia. It's the last page of our collective memory of the age of innocence. Then things turned ugly and would never be the same again.
Ang Lee

Ang Lee
I like to do drama, something about life that could be disappointing.
Ang Lee
