Yi Yi (Chinese: 一一; pinyin: Yī Yī; lit. 'one one'; subtitled A One and a Two) is a 2000 Taiwanese drama film written and directed by Edward Yang. It centers on the struggles of an engineer, NJ (played by Wu Nien-jen), and three generations of his middle-class Taiwanese family in Taipei.
The film's title means "one by one", or "one after another". When written in vertical alignment, the two strokes resemble the character for "two": 二.
Yi Yi premiered on May 14, 2000, at the 53rd Cannes Film Festival, where Yang won the Best Director Award.[1] The film has received universal acclaim since its release and is often regarded as one of the greatest films of the 21st century.[2][3][4]
