Bi Gan’s stunning follow-up to his breathtaking 2015 debut Kaili Blues (shown in 2016 at the Cinematheque) is China’s biggest arthouse hit of all time. It’s a moody, noir-tinged drama about a loner who returns to his hometown to try to locate a woman from his past who still haunts him. This singular, virtuosic odyssey through space and time, memory and melancholy has been called “the unexpected love child of Wong Kar-wai and Andrei Tarkovsky” (IndieWire). It boasts a virtuosic, hour-long long take that “must be seen to be believed” (L.A. Times). Shown in 2D. East Side Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 140 min.
