Watch the latest trailer for Bi Gan’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night

Filmmaker Bi Gan follows up his knockout debut, KAILI BLUES, with this noir-tinged stunner about a lost soul (Jue Huang) on a quest to find a missing woman from his past (Wei Tang).

Following leads across Guizhou province, he crosses paths with a series of colorful characters, among them a prickly hairdresser, played by Taiwanese superstar Sylvia Chang. When the search leads him to a dingy movie theater, the film launches into an hour-long, gravity-defying 3D sequence shot that plunges its protagonist – and us – into a labyrinthine cityscape.

Written and directed by Bi Gan, the Chinese film stars Tang Wei, Huang Jue, and Sylvia Chang.

This looks absolutely gorgeous.

Kino Lorber is releasing the film in the US on 12th April 2019.
