New York, Dec. 17 (CNA) Taiwanese family drama A Sun (陽光普照) should be seriously considered for an Oscar nomination, a senior film critic for the IndieWire website wrote Tuesday.
Directed and co-written by Chung Mong-hong (鍾孟宏), the movie is highly praised by the American review website for its mixture of broad comedy, extreme violence and melodrama. It s hard to imagine how a staggering two-and-a-half-hour epic from an established auteur could play the Toronto International Film Festival, win the most prestigious movie award from its country of origin, receive a simultaneous worldwide release, and still manage to almost completely escape the attention of American critics, David Ehrlich said.
Nothing seems to happen in some films. In others, everything occurs at once. Taiwanese auteur Edward Yangâs mesmerizing drama âYi Yiâ (2000) deftly bridges this dichotomy, detailing the monotony of adulthood while also illuminating the complex emotional upheavals that strain even the closest of familial bonds.
Situated in Taipei, Yangâs film follows the lives of the intergenerational, working-class Jian family through the perspectives of three individuals: a disillusioned engineer and father NJ (Wu Nien-jen), his reserved adolescent daughter Ting-Ting (Kelly Lee), and his uncannily perceptive eight-year-old son Yang-Yang (Jonathan Chang), who uses his camera as a means of making sense of the world. By braiding together these three narratives, Yang communicates the unique challenges of each stage of life while emphasizing shared themes of change, loss, and longing.
