Show Notes

Jackie and Greg strap in for their longest film yet: Edward Yang's four-hour epic, A BRIGHTER SUMMER DAY from 1991. Topics of discussion include Yang's impeccable mise-en-scène, the scope of the production, how the film was designed to be shown without an intermission, and why it's ultimately hobbled by its mammoth runtime.
