In Our Time

Four vignettes, each set in different decades from the 1950s through the 1980s, deal with protagonists at different stages of life between childhood and young adulthood.

Directed by Jim Tao, Chang Yi, Edward Yang, Ko I-chen, In Our Time leans on a strong ensemble — Sylvia Chang, An-ni Shih, Lee Li-Chun — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1982.
