Provincetown Film Art Series: Yi-Yi

Taiwanese filmmaker Edward Yang died at age 59 of colon cancer in 2007, having created two film masterpieces during his all-too-brief career — both little-seen in the U.S. — including this beautifully wrought, epic humanist portrait of a family’s many foibles and dramas, seen through the eyes of its eight-year-old son. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes and the National Society of Film Critics Best Film award. Written and directed by Edward Yang. In Chinese, with subtitles. 2 hours, 53 minutes.
