A One and a Two... (2000)

Posted on 04:00 by uthpa
Highly Recommended
Taiwan/Japan/USA
Feature Film
Original Title: 一一
Writer/Director: Edward Yang
Cinematographer: Yang Wei-han
Composer: Peng Kai-Li
Cast: Wu Nianzhen, Issey Ogata, Elaine Jin, Kelly Lee, Jonathan Chang, Chen Hsi-Sheng, Ko Su-Yun, Hsiao Shu-shen, Lin Adriene, Yu Pang Chang

Yang’s exquisite, sprawling family drama – exploring the ups and downs of an extended Taipei family, comparing and contrasting teenaged and middle-aged heartbreak, spiritual & financial & moral crises, and the universality of human emotion and feeling – is an elegiac yet warm and funny minor masterpiece, and a fitting end to the great Taiwanese film-maker’s career.
