edward yang’s first feature already shows a masterful grasp of complex family dynamics, exploring many themes within a nest of flashbacks. often cited as the debut of taiwanese new wave cinema, it focuses primarily on its female characters, especially sylvia chang’s jia-li. a reunion with a childhood friend sets up the unspooling narrative featuring multiple time shifts, taking us from the strict family home where jia-li flees an arranged marriage to be with her teenage boyfriend, to her life as a bored upper class housewife who fills her time with shopping and flower arranging. the gradual dissolution of their once happy union is one of the most realistic i’ve seen portrayed on film. yang manages the fractured structure like a…
Rarely does a directorial debut define an auteur from the very outset. That Day, on the Beach reveals Edward Yang’s clarity of vision and thorough worldview so perfectly that it resonates as a counterbalance to his most acclaimed work, A Brighter Summer Day, and has the same philosophical outlook as his final film, Yi Yi. Whilst it may not be as all-encompassing as those most-perfect of films, That Day, on the Beach is still a powerful effort. It shows us how life forever cycles, as we follow the cues of others and reach the same decisions. If you could rewrite time, you would end up changing nothing. Generations, siblings, friends, each are destined to face the same problems. That Day, on…
“With all that education, you should know what happiness is.”
Yang’s feelings towards marriage and relationships are so profound and complex that they still have lessons to teach almost thirty-five years later. Up there with Scenes From a Marriage in it’s study of relationships built on unstable contentment and silence, and the stark ways the downfalls are portrayed; platonic, professional, and romantic.
I’d link you to the Wikipedia page about That Day, on the Beach, but it doesn’t exist.
“Just keeping this small life going so long is something worth celebrating in itself.”
Literally one movie in and he’s rethinking marriage in the 21st century. In 1983!
It was nice to get a chance to see this film after many years, among the early films of the Taiwan New Wave, especially given the upcoming release of Edward Yang’s masterpiece A Brighter Summer Day. As you would expect, this one isn’t quite on that level as Yang was still honing his craft at the time but it definitely has a lot to offer. It’s about a melancholy pianist who returns to Taiwan from a European tour and reunites with her long-estranged childhood friend (played by Sylvia Chang). Yang uses an enigmatic flashback structure, admittedly less successfully so than he would in The Terrorizers, to introduce the family of the friend, including her brother whom the pianist once dated. There’s a political allegory to be drawn from what is at times typical soap-opera material. Yang keeps it interesting though along with the performers. I hope Criterion will one days release other Yang movies as well.
Beach trials were born. Edward Yang debuted on the scene of warmth. The tone of aging and becoming, a status of passing down in generations that unfortunately included the problems our brains had to go through and remember. Tune yourselves for the correct pitch, for the birth, for the death, for when the destruction occurs. I don’t know if I will live long, but I know that if you open the window ever so slightly, you will see everyone.
Holding your breath, it was a long time of doing so.
«what chance do we have when it comes to honor?»
«i haven’t slept in days. i can’t. i lie down and my mind is full of questions.»
«we haven’t really talked for ages. do you remember how we’d talk half the night sometimes? i often wonder if we know each other so well now that there’s no need for words, or is this what marriage does to people? leaves them with nothing left to say?»
«we kept this fragile silence for a long time.»
«it feels like the 2’o’clock sun, taking the winter away, just like the sunlight in the spring. when even the birds are singing. things seem to be coming to life all around me. [. ] what a…
A drifting collection of memories, clashing into each other and coming together to produce a story of two lonely souls on a journey towards togetherness. Two women searching for their place in Taiwanese society, blowing through the cosmos like specks of dust and floating towards a destination yet unseen. These images are complex and intertwined, like the women they portray.
The tone and movement in That Day, on the Beach makes for a soothing rhythmic illusion, and all the while it feels like we are a frame away from devastation. A moment that can change it all. A moment that these women need in their lives, to make their lives complete.
I’ve had a mixed relationship with Yang’s work over…
Imagine making A Brighter Summer Day and that not being your best film.
Thank God Edward Yang was able to get Christopher Doyle to shoot this so he could capture the magnificence of Sylvia Chang’s perm.
Did Edward Yang come fully formed out of the womb? His feature debut is so sophisticated in its thinking, so spiritually lacerating in its craft, it’s hard to imagine this isn’t a late work from a more seasoned filmmaker. What first time filmmaker has the balls to present us with a Rosebud mystery worthy of Kane himself, only to double down with an Antonioni-styled disappearing act that never really resolves as it does revel in its own conflicting ideas and emotions.
You don’t even register how complex that opening scene is (which might be nothing more than a red herring) until much, much later in the story, but it really does become the fulcrum of a sprawling epic narrative in…
«The power of time is so overwhelming it’s frightening.»
Debut? 1983 Taiwan? Christ Almighty, Edward Yang is a different kind of fish altogether. I spent all my time rewinding and re-watching scene after scene to note his logical progressions. It didn’t hurt that Christopher Doyle was on the payroll, along with a very talented group of Main Title and End title filmmakers. Luckily, to keep him from being some A.I. film director Replicant, there were a few frayed edges in the acting and perhaps too much edited coverage, but that’s pretty nit-picky.
It’s 5:00 AM and I can’t get to sleep, just thinking of the shot sequences, the color, backgrounds, the blocking and mise en scene, the flashbacks which seem…
