Overview
The extraordinary Yi Yi (A One and a Two . . .), directed by the late Taiwanese master Edward Yang, 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 21st century.
Why See This Film
Ranking at #90 in the 2022 Sight & Sound Greatest Films of All Time poll, Yi Yi is one of only two Taiwanese films to make the list (the other being another Edward Yang masterpiece, A Brighter Summer Day). Yi Yi manages the tremendous feat of being both intimately personal and supremely epic, resulting in a film with indelible images that amounts to so much more than a simple tale of one year in the life of a middle-class family in Taipei.
