YI YI

Opens Friday, October 15
New 4K Restoration | 25th Anniversary
Part of Special Engagements

The extraordinary, internationally embraced YI YI (A ONE AND A TWO...), directed by the late Taiwanese master Edward Yang, follows a middle-class family in Taipei over the course of one year, beginning with a wedding and ending with a funeral. Warm, sprawling and dazzling, this intimate epic is one of the undisputed masterworks of the new century.

ORWELL: 2+2=5

Now playing | One week only!

George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th century, whose novels foretold an all-too-believable authoritarian future. Acclaimed director Raoul Peck, working in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings from Orwell’s diary and dynamic modern-day footage to craft what is not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself but also an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become.
