If Yi Yi hit the spot, these will too

Common ground in both: daughter and wedding

Common ground: family

Both land stillness and romance at once

The same hand behind both of them: Edward Yang
The difference: Sits closer to crime than Yi Yi does

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Drama built on romance, twice over
The difference: Made in the 1950s, in a different era of the craft

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

A streak of romance through both
