it just don't get much better than yi yi. i think about this movie all the time. saw it from 8-11 p.m. on new year's eve 00-01. r.i.p. e.y. seems like a guy who followed himself where it led.
Hey, where'd the post about skylines go?
A Brighter Summer Day is more than merely great. It's very possibly the best film to play SIFF in the 1990s. Maybe ever. But since I haven't seen his other stuff, I'll give you a bit of the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks for making the movies, Mr. Yang.
Oh, fuck. That hurts. *Yi Yi* is easily in my top-five movies of the last quarter-century.
Read somewhere that he was planning to make a movie in Seattle.
that's not Aimee Mann (right?), but it sure sounds like her... I am thinkng of the Magonlia soundtrack here. I love that movie, Magnolia, in which, among many other things, our ccp hero John C Reilly loses his gun. Many copycat films later, but Magnolia broke ground. Oh how about William H Macy (another newby at the time) having a crush on the cute and hot bartender with braces while that jaded old queen played by Laugh In alum/poet Henry Gibson chimed in. At the time, I related to the braced bartender but now I am definitely Henry. And that is only in the course of what? five years.
