Show Notes

Jackie and Greg discuss Edward Yang's sprawling family drama from 1999. Topics of discussion include ghosts in dramas, the stoicism of the Jian family, the mundanity of everyday life, the idea of the "intimate epic," cinema as a means to live multiple lifetimes, and films that creep up on you... in a good way. Tune in to hear them wax poetic about one of the all-time great family mosaics.
