This is one of the most perfectly realized films I can remember seeing. This is a very heartfelt movie about living life. It is directed in a manner similar to Eric Rohmer films where scenes take place in front of a camera in a very uncontrived way.
I do not have a synopsis except to say it is about the life of a family which includes an 8 year old boy, a teenage daughter, a father a mother and also a grandmother. At the end you will know every one of them perfectly, having lived their lives with them in great clarity and sometimes it is a joyous ride and sometimes there is drama.
If you have 3 hours and really want to devote yourself to a movie do yourself a favor and rent Yi Yi (A One and a Two).

If you are curious, you might want to look at previous posts on that film - people generally agreed with your observations, it is a fine film.

  thanks Victor,
  I did look at the old threads as I usually do on a film I like. It is nice to share the company of a (select) group of film enthusiasts, I do not know many on planet earth - only the Asylum...
  I thought I would post because it is a film worthy of notice to those who missed it and maybe had not been frequenting this site before recently.

    Some good movies tend to fade into old memory, so it is always nice to mention them again, refreshing the emotions.
