Film: Yi Yi
Director: Edward Yang

The film follows the lives of a Taiwanese family -- NJ Jian, his wife, Min-Min, and their two kids. Life issues are explored: Mid-life crises, taking care of the elderly, dealing with generational differences, and second romances. It is both drama and comedy as each character goes from one disastrous situation and another. It's a film about acceptance and tolerance of one's situation, that not everything works out the way you want it to be. This is a great film to use in class dealing with exploring the lives of families--their dynamics, belief system, and hierarchy.
