Yi Yi (2000)

Taiwanese Family Drama - in Chinese with English subtitles - follows the life of a middle-aged businessman and his family living in a city apartment. The struggles of marriage, a high pressure job, kids in school, and a dying grandmother weigh on our characters. The wife is near suicidal and the grandmother becomes comatose. The father of the house is tempted by his high school sweetheart who he nearly married but didn't. The young son is philosophical and obsessed with photography. Very real and lifelike characters make this long movie (nearly 3 hours) fascinating to watch.
