Yi Yi (2000)

Director:   Edward Yang
Writer:      Edward Yang
Language: Mandarin, Taiwanese (Hokkien)
Each member of a Taiwanese middle class family asks hard questions about life as they live through everyday quandaries. Each members are aged such that all of them together represents all the stages of life. The film is very subtle and reminded me of Michael Haneke in a weird way in the sense that usually he depicts middle class families. The film is close to three hours long but conveys a lot about life and won't feel long.

The director Edward Yang won the best director award at the Cannes. The film is also called sometimes as Yi Yi: A one and a two.

Rating: 5/5
