Yi Yi swiftly 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-aged father NJ's tenuous flirtations with an old flame or precocious young son Yang-Yang's attempts at capturing reality with his beloved camera, Yang imbues every gorgeous frame with a deft, humane clarity. (official distributor synopsis)

Taiwanese film has strong filmmakers and Edward Yang is clearly one of them. In three hours, it manages to present the fates of people in a way that few can achieve, and in good image quality and overall interesting stylization. You feel like every piece of clothing was carefully chosen to fit perfectly into the given scene, not to mention the actors who are natural in their non-acting.
