If you loved A Brighter Summer Day, try Yi Yi
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Edward Yang, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Brighter Summer Day, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Yi Yi is
High Fidelity if Chekhov. A Taipei family quietly struggles through life's pivotal moments: birth, death, thwarted love. Yang's observant, patient film uses a long runtime to amplify small moments.
