Viewing Notes
Taiwan New Cinema (the first Edward Yang film logged on this website). Also three hours long. Fuck yes.
Now I understand the accolades. Damn what a meaty movie (what I thought to myself as I watched). So much meat on the bone. Love that there’s subplot that involves both Tokyo and Chicago.
Doorways, pathways, roadways, train tracks… it’s all there in the composition and I fucking love it. As I’m just discovering TNC I know I will revisit this one near the end. I want to watch Yang’s older work then come back to this one.
