Released in 2000, Edward Yang's Yi Yi might just be one of our most adored works of art. A pillar of the Taiwanese New Wave, the film takes us into the lives of 3 generations of a middle-class family in Taipei. Yi Yi is vast in scale, yet manages to remain deeply personal and engaging.
In this episode, we talk about the movie's structure and some of its underlying philosophical themes, with particular emphasis on characterisation. Further, in keeping with the tone of the film, we address such topics as innocence, subjectivity and loneliness.
