YI YI d. Edward Yang, 2000 (15 FEB 20:10) / Part of TWO BY EDWARD YANG at The Prince Charles.
“The extraordinary, internationally embraced 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 new century.” (The Prince Charles)
