A Brighter Summer Day

“I haven’t seen A Brighter Summer Day, but I’m a huge fan of Yi. And I love Edward Yang’s work. I think that he has maybe the greatest eye for composition of any director ever. I just love the stillness of his movies and just the way that the shots are composed and they're so kind of melancholic and profound and quiet ways. And yeah, I was told by many people that I needed to also watch A Brighter Summer Day. So I’m very, very excited to watch this probably as soon as I get home.”

“A Brighter Summer Day, yes, let's go. This movie is crazy. What do I say about this movie? I sat for 4 hours on a Sunday in Metrograph here in New York watching this and just left feeling like nothing's the same. I mean, this is like a tale of like youth and finding yourself at its finest, I think.”

“A Brighter Summer Day, I don't know, it's such a special film that I'm not even sure what to say about this film because I might get emotional. And this now will be part of my collection.”

“Every time I see this, where people choose the thing, I said why don't they looking up? They're lazy. This is very important for him because anything you want to know about this country and anything you know about the young people, anything you want to know about Cinema, anything you want to know about The Silence and what movement and what feeling of the woman, young girls, everything in this film is a very important movie, a long movie which is great. I wish it would be longer. Edward Yang.”

“This filmmaker is super important to me, Edward Yang... One of my favorite films ever made is A Brighter Summer Day which is in here somewhere and so much so that I reached out to Criterion and asked for a poster of A Brighter Summer Day so I can put it on my home. It's the only movie poster up in our apartment.”
