/ mintvolcano - Yi Yi: A One and A Two, written and directed by the legendary Taiwanese director, Edward Yang (楊德昌Yang Dechang) is a masterpiece of filmmaking in every respect. Part of the "Taiwanese New Wave" the unique one take shots (oners) jump out at first but the story and acting are not to be overlooked either, the attention to detail that filmmaker Edward Yang puts into every single frame, every performance, and every sound is truly astonishing. Yi Yi is maybe one of the most underrated films ever made, despite winning Yang the best director award at the Cannes film festival in the year 2000 this film is still largely unknown by many and is often left out of the conversation for greatest film of all time. We believe it should be considered one of the greatest achievements of cinema coming from any county… at least that’s what we think, but we are biased because we are from Taiwan.
The video features clips from the film Yi Yi: A One and A Two (2000) - directed by Edward Yang (Kuzui Enterprises) for educational and demonstrative and educational purposes (fair use).

The Mint Volcano channel will be uploading more review of Taiwanese cinema, films, movies, Netflix shows as well as reviews of films from other Asian countries such as Hong Kong, China, Japan and more. The purpose of this channel is for media criticism and appreciation of cinema and Taiwanese cinema in particular. We hope people from all over the world will seek out these movies and share them with their friends.
