The TVI Take
A Taiwanese family over one year — a father faces mid-life questions, his son photographs the backs of people's heads to show what they cannot see themselves. Edward Yang's final film is exceptional — the family portrait structure and the philosophical precision are both extraordinary.
Educational about Taiwanese modernity and the philosophy of seeing.
