help The Grandmaster FAQ
Who plays Ip Man in The Grandmaster?
Tony Leung Chiu-wai plays Ip Man in Wong Kar-wai's 2013 film. Zhang Ziyi plays Gong Er, whose story becomes almost as important as Ip Man's Wing Chun lineage.
Is The Grandmaster mainly about Bruce Lee's teacher?
Ip Man is famous internationally as Bruce Lee's teacher, but The Grandmaster is not a Bruce Lee origin story. Wong Kar-wai focuses on Ip Man, Gong Er, northern and southern martial arts schools, and the disruptions caused by war in China.
Why are there different cuts of The Grandmaster?
Several versions circulated internationally, including a shorter U.S. release associated with The Weinstein Company and longer Asian cuts. Because the film's structure is elliptical, the cut you watch can change how much time you spend with Gong Er and the martial-arts schools.
Did The Grandmaster receive Oscar attention?
Yes. The Grandmaster received Academy Award nominations for cinematography and costume design at the 86th Oscars. Philippe Le Sourd's rain-soaked images and William Chang's period styling are a large part of the film's reputation.
