One of the most remarkable films at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, Yi
Yi (A One and a Two) is universally regarded by critics as one of the
year's best films. This many-layered, sophisticated film looks into contemporary
family life in Taipei and focuses on the story of a typical middle-class
family. Yi Yi is the work of a concerned artist who raises questions
about how we will face the future as technology changes our lives. In this
refined sociological study on modern Asia, it is the mysterious and courageous
child who embodies hope for the future. 1999, Taiwan, in Taiwanese, Mandarin,
and Japanese with English subtitles, 35mm, color, 173 minutes.
The theatrical run of Yi Yi (A One and a Two) begins at Oak Street
Cinema on May 11. For details, call 612.331.3134.
