Long Day's Journey Into Night
It's impossible to describe... and even more impossible to forget.

Long Day's Journey Into Night
Bi Gan follows up his knockout debut, Kaili Blues, with this noir-tinged fever dream about a lost soul (Jue Huang) on a quest to find a missing woman from his past (Wei Tang, Lust, Caution).

When the search leads him to a dingy movie theater, the film launches into a hour-long, gravity-defying sequence shot that plunges its protagonist into a labyrinthine cityscape and leaves the viewer breathless.

FEATURED REVIEW
Glenn Kenny, New York Times
Midnight movies are no longer the attraction they were back in the late ’70s and early ’80s. This sometimes seems like a shame. “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” the second feature by the Chinese director Bi Gan (whose 2016 debut “Kaili Blues” made an impression in art houses the world over), would ...
