Taiwan’s Ang Lee has received one of France’s highest cultural honors. Yesterday he was made an officer in the French National Order of Arts and Letters. During the ceremony, the culture minister praised Lee for communicating touching stories to different cultures around the world.
The French minister of culture and communication, Aurelie Filipetti, inducted Ang Lee into France’s cultural honor role. She praised Lee for his contribution to globalization and his vision that every individual contains great potential.
Lee said that as a young person, he was inspired by French film. And in “Life of Pi” he even added a role for revered French actor Gerard Depardieu.

The chef is not in the book, but it is indeed a very good adaptation.
On stage, Lee appeared youthful and even a bit humorous when posing for photos.
France’s National Order of Arts and Letters recognizes outstanding contributions to the international arts community. In the past, Taiwan honorees have included puppet master Li Tien-lu and director Hou Hsiao-hsien.

法國文化部長菲里佩提，為李安別上文化藝術騎士勳章。菲里佩提盛讚，在文化走向全球制式化的潮流之際，李安的電影，是一股清流，捍衛每個人有不一樣的權利。
李安說道，年輕時就受到法國電影的啟發，所以在少年Pi的奇幻漂流中，特別請來法國國寶演員，曾演過大鼻子情聖的傑哈德巴狄厄客串一角。

法國文化藝術騎士勳章，主要是表揚在國際藝文界有傑出貢獻人士，過去台灣布袋戲大師李天祿，以及導演侯孝賢等人，都曾獲得這項殊榮。
