One of the greatest masterpieces of this century, Edward Yang’s sweeping family epic captures the essence of life itself from its banalities to its humor, offering a life-affirming treasure for even the most jaded cinephile. Each member of a family in Taipei asks hard questions about life’s meaning as they live through everyday quandaries. NJ is morose: his brother owes him money, his mother is in a coma, his wife suffers a spiritual crisis when she finds her life a blank and his business partners make bad decisions. A wondrous cinematic event that must be seen on the big screen, and won Yang the Cannes Best Director award, this is a triumph of humanity as well as cinema.
