Taipei Story is bleak yet exhilarating. Yang's vision was bitter, but hardly without compassion, and he pulls it off here with a quiet confidence. The New York Times

The Terrorizers, released in 1986, is an excellent introduction to the cinema of Edward Yang. This ensemble film follows several interconnected characters, weaving together criminal, political, and romantic storylines while blurring the line between fiction and reality, particularly through the intertwined stories of a photographer and a frustrated novelist, who serve as the filmmaker’s alter egos. Edward Yang’s body of work deserves to be rediscovered, as it is one of the most important—and ambitious—in modern Asian cinema. Les Inrockuptibles
