“Yi Yi”

March 27, 2025

Moscow Film Society and Habib Institute for Asian Studies present this film as part of their Cinematic Sprawl series. The extraordinary, internationally embraced Yi Yi 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’s tentative flirtations with an old flame or precocious young son Yang-Yang’s 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 new century. Sponsored by Habib Institute for Asian Studies. Not rated.
