**Screenwriter**: Edward Yang **Producers**: Shinya Kawai, Osamu Kunota, Naoko Tsukeda One of the greatest masterpieces of this century, Edward Yang’s sweeping family epic captures the essence of life itself from its banalities to its humor, offering a life-affirming treasure for even the most jaded cinephile. Each member of a family in Taipei asks hard questions about life’s meaning as they live through everyday quandaries. NJ is morose: his brother owes him money, his mother is in a coma, his wife suffers a spiritual crisis when she finds her life a blank and his business partners make bad decisions. A wondrous cinematic event that must be seen on the big screen, and won Yang the Cannes Best Director award, this is a triumph of humanity as well as cinema. **Picks from the Video Store** We’ve got an Edward Yang director’s section and you can take home more tonight! *A Brighter Summer Day, Taipei Story, The Terrorizers* **Accessibility Options**: Open Captions, Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
