" EDWARD YANG WILL REMAIN AS THE GREAT FILMMAKER OF MODERNITY ."
OLIVIER ASSAYAS
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
Like his compatriot Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, who passed away prematurely in 2007, created a unique body of work that propelled Asian cinema to the forefront of the international stage. Considered one of the greatest Asian filmmakers, the director of A Brighter Summer Day cast a warm gaze upon his fellow citizens, brilliantly handling both drama and comedy. Collected for the first time in a Blu-ray™ box set, In Our Time , The Terrorizers , Confusion Among Confucius , and Mahjong are splendid and intimate testimonies to the radical transformation of Taiwanese society in the 1980s and 90s.
Available in a 3-Blu-ray box set
