(Yi Yi)
Country: TAI/JAP
Technical: Eastmancolor 173m
Director: Edward Yang
Cast: Wu Nianzhen, Issey Ogata, Elaine Jin
Synopsis:
Members of two families are for different reasons unhappy in life and, for the father of one, much hinges on his bosses' business ethics over a possible deal with a Japanese company and a chance encounter with an old flame.
Review:
Exhaustive tapestry of contemporary Taiwanese mores, filmed almost entirely in long shot or through doors and windows. Masterly in its control, it requires and rewards quiet attention.
