173 mins - Taiwan 2000 - Subtitles - Dir: Edward Yang Starring: Wu Nien-jen, Elaine Jin and Issey Ogata Yang’s sublime magnum opus YI YI (A ONE AND A TWO…), winner of the Best Director Award at Cannes, 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, Yang deftly imbues every gorgeous frame with a compassionate clarity. Warm, sprawling, and dazzling, this intimate epic wanders contemporary Taipei, moving from one member of the Jian family to another and back again. “A lucid, elegant, nuanced, humorous melodrama.” Village Voice
