Curiosità

Yen and Ai-Lee is a 2024 Taiwanese drama film directed and written by Tom Lin Shu-yu. Starring Kimi Hsia, Yang Kuei-mei, Sam Tseng, and Ng Ki-pin, the film explores themes of domestic violence and follows the reconciliation between a young woman (Hsia), who murders her abusive father, and her mother (Yang).

Production

Director-screenwriter Tom Lin Shu-yu had intended to collaborate with his wife and actress Kimi Hsia on a film project and conceived Yen and Ai-Lee for years, but did not have the time or opportunity to develop the idea until the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Casting decisions were made by Lin and Hsia together. Sam Tseng was cast due to his fluency in Hakka Chinese and his familiarity with Hsia from co-hosting Stylish Man - The Chef for nine years, thus joining the project at Hsia's invitation. Winnie Chang was invited by Lin to portray a funeral-mourning actress after he learned about the occupation in the news.

Principal photography took place in 2023 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, spanning approximately three to four weeks. The film was shot by Indian cinematographer Kartik Vijay, who previously collaborated with Tom Lin Shu-yu on The Garden of Evening Mist (2019). Lin invited Vijay to join the project to present Taiwan from a foreign perspective and to leverage Vijay's keen attention to detail.
