A film of both sprawling scope and tender intimacy, this novelistic, patiently observed epic centers on the gradual, inexorable fall of a young teenager from innocence to juvenile delinquency. A Brighter Summer Day plays May 9.

Edward Yang’s penultimate film is an acerbic, sprawling tragicomedy, a poison love letter to Taipei as a rising cosmopolis of big money, big dreams, and big cons. Mahjong opens May 9.

Art versus commerce, friendship versus status, independence versus conformity—values clash and collide in Edward Yang’s study of an increasingly Westernized country heading into the twenty-first century without moral guideposts. A Confucian Confusion opens May 9.

The extraordinary, internationally embraced Yi Yi (A One and a Two . . .), directed by the late Taiwanese master Edward Yang, follows a middle-class family in Taipei over the course of one year, beginning with a wedding and ending with a funeral. Yi Yi opens May 8.

Edward Yang’s second feature is a mournful anatomy of a city caught between the past and the present, illuminating the precariousness of domestic life and the desperation of Taiwan’s globalized modernity. Taipei Story opens May 8.

This May, the Dave Barber Cinematheque, in partnership with FascinAsian Film Festival, is thrilled to present five films by one of Taiwan’s most celebrated filmmakers and a pioneer of the Taiwanese New Wave, Edward Yang.
