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.#93 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/polls/greatest-films-all-time-2012Check us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtPhotography: Matt AraquistainMusic: Andrew CoxSpecial Thanks: Kathryn FerentchakSupport the showSupport the show on Patreon: patreon.com/SceneandHeardPodorSubscribe just to get access to our bonus episodes: buzzsprout.com/1905508/subscribe
