Close out the month with TFL’s Movie Night on Friday, April 26 at 6 pm. Admission is free, and popcorn is provided!

We will show “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” an imaginative, artistic martial arts film that is also an adventurous love story.  A young Chinese female warrior brazenly steals a sword from a famed swordsman and then escapes to a world of romantic adventure with a mysterious man in the desert frontier of the nation.

Directed by Ang Lee and incredibly choreographed by Yuen Wo-Ping who is known for the signature choreography of “The Matrix,” the film won 4 Academy Awards, 2 Golden Globes, and dozens of similar awards around the globe. (In Mandarin with English subtitles; rated PG-13; 120 minutes.)
