Yi Yi (25th Anniversary) - EN subs

Warm, layered, and enchanting: this intimate epic stands among the great cinematic masterpieces of the twenty-first century, and now returns to theaters in a brand-new 4K restoration to mark its 25th anniversary.

The film opens with a wedding and closes with a funeral, weaving in between a mosaic of everyday moments captured with rare emotional precision. At its center is NJ, a weary father caught between professional disappointment and the quiet pull of a youthful love, while his son Yang-Yang tries to make sense of the world by photographing it—to capture what others cannot see. Yang’s direction is restrained yet compassionate, uncovering meaning in the ordinary and tenderness in what remains unspoken.

Few films have ever conveyed so profoundly the experiences of growing up, growing older, and facing loss—with such calm and such grace.
