Summary

Long Day's Journey Into Night is a noirish stunner about a lost soul on a quest to find a missing woman from his past. Following leads across Guizhou province, the man crosses paths with a series of colorful characters, among them a prickly hairdresser. 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 dreamlike, labyrinthine cityscape. A monumental accomplishment from director Bi Gan, it is China's biggest arthouse hit of all time, and has already become a modern cinematic landmark.
