Charting his struggles in two worlds, Be Water is a new documentary about Hong Kong American actor, director, martial artist and philosopher Bruce Lee. Focusing on Lee’s life, particularly after he was rejected by Hollywood and returned to Hong Kong to complete four films.

Directed by Bao Nguyen, Be Water explores questions of identity and representation through archive footage, intimate interviews and Lee’s own writings.

I haven’t watched many martial arts movies. Well, except for Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker’s Rush Hour action/comedies. Yet, I never had to in order to know who Bruce Lee was.

Lee is after all one of the major cultural icons of the twentieth century, and my brother has been a fan ever since his first Bruce Lee movie.

‘Be shapeless, formless, like water‘ is one of Lee’s most famous quotes. I look forward to finding out how he applied ‘be water’ and other philosophies in his unfortunately far too short life.

Be Water Release Dates: June 7th, 2020 (US)…

Happy Film Loving,
