I finally finished Yi Yi yesterday. What an incredible film! It's film like this that makes me furious with the North American movie system. Such a simple film, simple stories about the lives of a Chinese family - no explosions, no slapsticky humour. Why can't films like this be made in North America? Because the audience wants to see Adam Sandler fall on his backside? Because we enjoy watching the same movie over and over and over with different actors? Because we're too stupid to appreciate art? I don't think so.
