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. From father NJ’s tentative flirtations with an old flame, to young son Yang-Yang’s attempts at capturing reality with his camera, the filmmaker imbues every frame with a compassionate clarity. Warm, sprawling, and dazzling, this intimate epic is one of the undisputed masterworks of the new century.
