The film chronicles the return of Luo Hongwu to Kaili. Back for his father's funeral, Luo recalls the death of an old friend and searches for lost love Wan Qiwen. This ravishing fever dream of a film, including an hour-long single take in 3D, leads the viewer on a nocturnal, labyrinthine voyage, one that reveals a world of passion and intrigue. Long Day's Journey Into Night is a technical marvel as well as a dreamlike, neon-bathed film noir, confirming Bi Gan as one of cinemas most exciting young luminaries.
