Yang has an ability to make you want to never leave the worlds he creates.  I think it’s because the stories he tells are more nebulous than the standard one you expect. His stories don’t begin, they don’t end, they just are. You are chosen to see these moments, ones that repeat through history, ones that maybe you shouldn’t be seeing, ones we can only see half the truth of. “I’d like the viewers to come away from the film with an impression of having been with a simple friend. If they came away with the impression of having encountered ‘a filmmaker,’ then I’d have to consider the film a failure.” -Edward Yang
