Wellspring
Directed by: Edward Yang
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.

Release Notes on Restoration
Yi Yi
Yi Yi is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are normal for this format. This digital transfer was created on a Spirit 4K Datacine from 35mm interpositive. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, scratches, splices, warps, jitter, and flicker were manually removed using MTI's DRS system and Pixel Farm's PFClean system, while Digital Vision's DVNR system was used for small dirt, grain, and noise reduction.
The 2.0 soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from the original 2-track Lt/Rt magnetic master. Clicks, thumps, hiss, and him were manually removed using Pro Tools HD. Crackle was attenuated using Audio Cube's integrated audio workstation.
