	Edward Yang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edward Yang (Chinese: 楊德昌, pinyin: Yáng Déchāng; born November 6, 1947), along with Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Tsai Ming Liang, is one of the leading filmmakers and artists of the Taiwanese New Wave and Taiwanese Cinema.
		Edward Yang was born in Shanghai in 1947, he grew up in Taipei, Taiwan, and later studying Electrical Engineering in Taiwan, enrolling in the graduate program at the University of Florida, where he received his Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering / Computer Science in 1974.
		Yang then followed with A Brighter Summer Day (1991), a sprawling examination of youth-teen gangs, 1949 Taiwanese societal developments, and American pop-culture (the title is taken from an Elvis refrain); the film was considered by many critics to be a masterpiece.

	Edward Yang
		Edward Yang is in the intriguing position of being one of the most gifted, and least seen, filmmakers in the world, at least for American audiences.
		Yang's vision alternates between the despairing and the comic, revealing a society in the midst of redefining itself, and struggling to maintain an appropriate balance between old and new.
		Yang is gifted with a remarkable sense of framing, alternating between a tighter framing that glimpses into the characters' interior lives, and a more idiosyncratic framing that removes the characters from the immediacy of the close-up, and inserts physical-psychological-mental space between us and them.

	NYFF 2000 REVIEW: "A One and a Two": Edward Yang's The Meaning of Life
		Of the major Taiwanese filmmakers, Edward Yang has earned the deserved reputation of being the most contemporary and the most real because his ultimate concern is to find room for a plausible, personal intimacy in a conflicted, materialistic society.
		Yang's Taiwan is a society where the reasons for actions ã indeed, being ã are forgotten, and, in the case of NJ, when remembered, cause deep existential doubt.
		The photography of Yang Weihan and master lighter Li Longyu thus presents a visual corollary to the thematic focus on the shallowness of appearances: NJ is chosen to represent the company because he "looks the most honest," but, in actuality, he is incapable of telling a lie.

		In addition, Yang excels at using window panes to double the dynamics: by overlapping the reflection or the refraction of another environment to the main action, Yang provide the characters with a broader context than just the narrow room or office where they are moving.
		Yang Yang has taken on a new hobby: taking pictures of people, but only their back, because that's the part of themselves that they can't see.
		Yang Yang is also fascinated by a girl at school, whom he sees swim in the swimming pool.

	INTERVIEW: Reality Check: Edward Yang's Living Creatures Do "A One and a Two"
		Yang's ideas about acting and cinematography are made concrete in the performance of Wu Nienjen (better known as a prolific screenwriter and the director of "A Borrowed Life") as the dissatisfied patriarch, NJ.
		Yang, who has known and collaborated with Wu Nienjen for twenty years, thinks that the veteran screenwriter's skill as a performer has always been overlooked.
		Luckily for Yang and for audiences in major American cities this fall, he's been able to circumvent the local cinematic deadlock and to go on making films about his favorite subject, the city of Taipei.

		Edward Yang assesses the considerable and original accomplishments of the writer-director, whose work, according to the author, combines the humanity of Jean Renoir, the heroic gestures of Werner Herzog, and the modernist sensibility and droll humor of Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
		Edward Yang also trained as an engineer, although what he attempts in The Terrorizer is a virtual dismantling of montage theory.
		One of Yang’s most closely scrutinized films, it ends with a shot of a novelist vomiting—which would seem to be a none-too-subtle commentary on the process of fiction, Yang’s included.

		This is Yang's seventh film but the first to have a proper international film release and the one that may finally bring his work to wider audience.
		Born in China in 1947, Yang moved with his family to Taiwan as a child and was fortunate that his father was a film buff.
		Yang hopes now to make a film in Seattle and, with the kind of budget previously unavailable to him, a second world war story set in Taiwan.

	Edward Yang
		Though largely unknown in the West, Edward Yang has emerged as one of international cinema's most distinctive voices and, along with Hou Hsiao Hsien, one of Taiwan's finest filmmakers.
		As in his earlier films, Yang used an intricate narrative structure to paint the portrait of a society in flux, but in this case, he explored thornier social issues such as the clashes between Chinese immigrants and native Taiwanese, the political imperialism of pre-war Japan, and the cultural imperialism of post-war American pop culture.
		For his subsequent films, Yang released a pair of frenzied screwball satires that pushed his preoccupation with cultural disassociation to an extreme.

	Yi Yi: Both a One and a Two
		Yang also arranges his visuals to reflect the idea of being able to see only "half of what's going on." Once armed with his father's camera, Yang-Yang takes pictures of the backs of people's heads, signifying what they cannot see.
		Yang also frequently shoots through glass, utilising reflections to show the audience what is both in front of and behind the glass at the same time.
		Edward Yang may be a little too precious in his suggestion (via Yang-Yang) that perhaps a photographer (or a filmmaker) can provide us with perspectives we cannot find on our own.

		Yang is both a consummate, restrained technician and a subtle director of actors.
		Edward Yang (the director/writer) also does a wonderful job with character development, and while you may struggle to figure out who's who in the beginning of the movie, you will no doubt get to know and care about each member of the troubled Jiang family by the end of the movie.
		The ability of Edward Yang to fuse imagination with, it must be assumed, an amazing honesty in reflecting upon his own life, to share what he holds most dear, and what evokes the most wonder, is something we, as an audience, can only marvel at and give thanks for.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		Yang is as clearly marked by Michelangelo Antonioni (at least in a few of his films with contemporary settings) as Kiarostami is by Roberto Rossellini and Jacques Tati.
		A Brighter Summer Day was inspired by a true incident, a touchstone from Yang's youth (though reportedly he's transformed the event to the point where it bears little relationship to the original): the killing of a 14-year-old girl by a male high school student in Taipei on June 15, 1961.
		Yang frames the film with recitations over the radio of the names of students graduating from the same school in 1960 and '61.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: A Brighter Summer Day
		Over the course of the film, Yang evokes the way the military regime in Taiwan has disconnected the island's people—men and women desperately trying to figure out a way to relate to each other and their children despite the constant meddling (whether punishment or validation) of the government.
		Because Yang's compositions are so uncomplicated, it's easy to dismiss the director as a better storyteller than visualist, but that's to ignore the remarkable way he uses his camera to posit all sorts of emotional and political confrontations.
		In essence, Yang uses his aesthetic to bring into the light that which is dark.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Yi Yi (2000), Edward Yang, Wu Nienjen, Issei Ogata, dvd review
		Yi Yi is the 53 year-old Yang's seventh feature film and, as far as I can tell, only the first to be distributed theatrically in the United States.
		The title literally translates to "one one," though Yang (who lived and studied in the U.S. for several years) intended it to be like a count-off to a snappy jazz song, "a one and a two..." And indeed, the movie plays like a song.
		But Yang's divine control and precision of his material is almost imperceptible.

		Taiwanese writer-director Edward Yang follows the ebbs and flows of a family over a year in Yi Yi, a beautiful picture that earned him the Best Director prize at Cannes in 2000.
		Opening with the clan posing for the groomed photographs of a wedding celebration, the film continues as a moving reflection on the everyday snapshots, both literally and metaphorically, that capture life's sometimes blurred three-dimensional complexity.
		Home viewers can watch the film with audio commentary that adds spice from Yang and Asian cinema critic Tony Rayns; Rayns asks meaty questions, like when should a character be introduced, while Yang waxes on everything from casting to cultural mores and his personal experiences.
