Count down the days to Yi Yi, the next entry in our Edward Yang Retrospective!
Each member of a family in Taipei asks hard questions about life’s meaning as they live through everyday quandaries. NJ (Wu Nien-jen) is morose: his brother owes him money, his mother is in a coma, his wife suffers a spiritual crisis when she finds her life a blank and his business partners make bad decisions.
Garnering Yang a Best Director Award at the 53rd Cannes Film Festival, Yi Yi is regarded by many critics as one of the best films of the 21st century.
