Yi Yi

The universally beloved Yi Yi (A One and a Two…), directed by the brilliant Taiwanese writer-director Edward Yang, is a portrait of a middle-class family in Taipei over the course of a single year. Chronicling middle-aged father NJ’s tentative flirtations with an old flame along with his precocious eight-year-old son's attempts at capturing reality with his beloved camera.

Yang, one of cinema’s great rediscovered artists, deftly imbues every character and event with compassionate clarity and a rich, enveloping storytelling style.

Warm, emotionally generous, and visually breathtaking, this intimate epic is one of the essential masterworks of the century, especially when seen in this sparkling new 4K restoration. Winner, Best Director, Cannes Film Festival. In Mandarin with English subtitles.

“The work of a master. In exchange for your time, Yi Yi will give you more life.” —A.O. Scott, The New York Times
