Among the most praised and sought-after titles in all contemporary film, this singular masterpiece of Taiwanese cinema, directed by Edward Yang (YI YI), finally comes to home video in the United States. Set in the early sixties in Taiwan, A BRIGHTER SUMMER DAY is based on the true story of a crime that rocked the nation. A film of both sprawling scope and tender intimacy, this novelistic, patiently observed epic centers on the gradual, inexorable fall of a young teenager (CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON'S, Chen Chang, in his first role) from innocence to juvenile delinquency, and is set against a simmering backdrop of restless youth, rock and roll, and political turmoil.

Deutsch Taipei im Jahr 1960. Der 14-jährige Schüler Chang Chen, von allen Xiao Si'r („kleine Vier“, da er das vierte von fünf Kindern ist) genannt, hatte im letzten Jahr in einem Fach eine mangelhafte Note erhalten. Obwohl alle anderen Fächer erfolgreich liefen und er eigentlich ein guter Schüler ist, musste er von der „Tagesschule“ auf die „Abendschule“ wechseln. Sein Vater, ein Regierungsbeamter aus dem Mittelstand, ist darüber unglücklich, denn die abendlich stattfindenden Schulen besitzen einen schlechten Ruf. Auf der von militärischer Strenge geprägten Schule werden die Schüler von den Lehrern oft nur mit den ihnen zugeteilten Nummern angesprochen. Die Bedenken des Vaters sind nicht grundlos: Zwischen den Little Park Boys und den 217s, zwei Jugendbanden, kommt es immer wieder zu brutalen Auseinandersetzungen.

Pусский Тайбэйские подростки 60-х годов живут в мире, где царит отчуждение и неуверенность в будущем. Повествование разворачивается вокруг отношений 14-летнего сына государственного служащего и подружки одного из главарей уличных банд.
Română Taipei, 1960. Un student de 14 ani, Chang Chen, cunoscut de toată lumea sub numele de Xiao Si'r („Micul Patru”, deoarece este al patrulea din cinci copii), primise o notă proastă la o materie anul trecut. Deși la toate celelalte materii a avut succes și este de fapt un elev bun, a trebuit să treacă de la „școala de zi” la „școala serală”. Tatăl său, un funcționar guvernamental din clasa de mijloc, este nemulțumit pentru că școlile serale au o reputație proastă. La școala, care se caracterizează prin strictețe militară, profesorii se adresează adesea elevilor doar cu numerele atribuite. Preocupările tatălui nu sunt neîntemeiate: ciocniri brutale izbucnesc în mod repetat între Micii Băieți Din Park și Cei 217, două bande de tineri.

Italiano A differenza degli altri film del regista, tutti ambientati nel contemporaneo, A Brighter Summer Day si svolge nei drammatici anni '60 dell'isola di Taiwan, segnati dalla politica del governo locale e dai difficili rapporti tra nativi e gli immigrati dalla Cina Popolare insieme al governo del Kuomintang e del suo leader Chiang Kai-shek, dopo la vittoria di Mao Tse-tung. Nelle sue quattro ore, A Brighter Summer Day mostra un episodio di cronaca che ebbe per protagonista un ragazzo, colpevole di aver ucciso una coetanea.
Český Děj se odehrává v jediném dni školního roku v Taipei počátkem šedesátých let a zobrazuje zemi stále ještě se vzpamatovávající z rozvratného přílivu čínských nacionalistů v roce 1948. Taiwan se zmítá mezi komunismem a demokracií, nacionalismem a liberalismem, ve zmatcích, odcizení a nejistotě vedoucích občas k oslabující vykořeněnosti.

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. Whether chronicling middle-age father NJ’s tentative flirtations with an old flame or precocious young son Yang-Yang’s attempts at capturing reality with his beloved camera, the filmmaker deftly imbues every gorgeous frame with a compassionate clarity. Warm, sprawling, and dazzling, this intimate epic is one of the undisputed masterworks of the new century.
Two-time Oscar® winner Milos Forman (Amadeus, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) directs Woody Harrelson, Courtney Love and Edward Norton in this "smart, funny, shamelessly entertaining" film called "a blazing triumph" by the New York Times. Based on the true story of the notorious Hustler publisher who was sued by the Religious Right and paralyzed by a fanatic's bullet, The People vs. Larry Flynt is a stranger-than-fiction comedy about one man's outrageous public persona and eccentric private life. Chronicling Flynt's raunchy business savvy, his wildly unconventional marriage and his infamous courtroom antics, The People vs. Larry Flynt is "the most scintillating and outrageous message movie of the decade. An ultrapop masterpiece!" Playboy Magazine
