“so immense and full of life that it can’t possibly be described (only experienced) ... one of the best movies ever made”

New 4K restoration
Taiwanese master Edward Yang’s magnum opus follows a middle-class family in Taipei over the course of one year. But as the film critic Nigel Andrews famously wrote, calling “‘Yi Yi a three-hour Taiwanese family drama is like calling Citizen Kane a film about a newspaper.” With tenderness and precision, Yang’s final film unlocks the yearning, striving, and revelation woven into the fabric of everyday life. The result is an extraordinary testament to the gift we give to each other—and ourselves—when we try to truly understand those around us.
