4K RESTORATION | ONE NIGHT ONLY

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.

Reviews

“Yang takes the long view, transforming the ingredients of family melodrama into a serene, generous, comic vision of our tangled urban lives.”

David Ansen
Newsweek

“The artistry is undeniable — tough insights blended with graceful compassion, gloomy certainties flecked with rays of hope.”

Rick Groen
Globe and Mail

“A humanistic masterwork.”
