Edward Yang’s masterfully shot family drama of middle-class life in Taipei features a family’s journey from birth to death.

Amongst the onslaught of everyday activity – a wedding, a grandmother’s stroke, a suicide attempt, money troubles – the profound meaning of life emerges.

‘…it all reverberates with meaning because of the camera’s careful attention and the sensitive performances by every actor in the ensemble cast.’LarsenOnFilm
