Get comfortable because it's not a short movie.

One of the masterpieces of modern world cinema, and although not my personal favorite film to come out of the movement, probably the crowning glory of the Taiwanese New Wave. Yang was such a master of composition, heavily influenced by Antonioni. I've enjoyed all his films that I've seen (still yet to see his debut That Day on the Beach). Taipei Story (1985)  The Terrorizers (1986)  Yi Yi (2000)  |

Taipei Story (1985) The Terrorizers (1986) Yi Yi (2000) I've only seen two of his films and I still give the slight edge to Yi Yi over this one, but they're both like reading a fully fleshed out novel on the screen. He has some of the most organic character development I've ever seen because it looks like it's happening in real time. By the end of both films, I felt completely inhaled by the story.
I probably should have vetted the trailer better now that I'm noticing its subtitles are in French.
Just by the photo, Taipei Story looks like it could have alternatively been called Taipei Monagatari.

I too slightly prefer Yi Yi overall. It’s more intimate and I love the color scheme. True, definite shades of Mizoguchi and Ozu.

Greatest film of the 90s. One of my all-time favourites, this is as close as cinema gets to a great novel.

Snap. Both great, but there's a shot in Yi Yi which is one of the greatest shots in cinema. Where the reflection of the city nightscape is cast onto the window and it looks like a flashing red light is a character's heart. It is spellbinding.
