Edward Yang's Family Epic, One Of The Most Acclaimed Movies Of The Decade.
The extraordinary, internationally embraced Yi Yi (A One and a Two . . .), directed by the
late Taiwanese master EDWARD YANG (A Brighter Summer Day), follows a middle‐class
family in Taipei over the course of one year, beginning with a wedding and ending with a
funeral. Whether chronicling middle‐age father NJ's tentative flirtations with an old flame
or precocious young son Yang‐Yang's attempts at capturing reality with his beloved
camera, the filmmaker deftly imbues every gorgeous frame with a compassionate clarity.
Warm, sprawling, and dazzling, this intimate epic is one of the undisputed masterworks of
the new century.
