Think of Kaili Blues as a school of fish. All the small characters, stories & their connections are illusive, fluid and gone in a flash, but when caught, each of those fishes is unique, shiny, slippery jewel. A net is made of seemingly unrelated motifs -- a hand drawn clock, a faded photo of the old doctor's lover, motor bikes, a disco ball, a childish song. What's left is a palpable, lasting sensation of fishes touching your hands as they swim away from your grasp. #bigan #chinesecinema
Bi Gan's sophomore effort, Long Day's Journey into Night, after his phenomenal debut Kaili Blues, doesn't disappoint in terms of ambition, technical prowess and sheer ecstatic beauty. I've never experienced anything quite like it in an immersive movie going experience. If the 40 min take in Kaili took your breath away, just wait until you see a continuous hour long 3D scene in the later half of the film. Its pure cinematic power let you believe that cinema is alive and well. #bigan #tangwei #3D
Long Day's Journey into Night (Bi Gan, 2018)
A brilliant, poetic film on memory and time. Bi Gan is one of the most talented young directors today. His first feature film, "Kaili Blues", was a hypnotic promise of what was to come. He is currently working on his third feature. Really looking forward to it!
