鈥淲hen it鈥檚 over, you鈥檒l wish it weren鈥檛. You will also feel better about being alive. Do yourself a favour, don't miss this one!鈥� - John Leonard

鈥淭he extraordinary, internationally embraced Yi Yi, directed by the late Taiwanese master Edward Yang, follows a middle-class family in Taipei over the course of one year, beginning with a wedding and ending with a funeral. Whether chronicling middle-aged father NJ鈥檚 tentative flirtations with an old flame or precocious young son Yang-Yang鈥檚 attempts at capturing reality with his beloved camera, the filmmaker deftly imbues every gorgeous frame with a compassionate clarity. Warm, sprawling, and dazzling, this intimate epic is one of the undisputed masterworks of the twenty-first century鈥� -The Criterion Collection
