Long Day's Journey into Night is a Chinese art-house drama directed by Bi Gan. The story follows a man who returns to a fogbound river town in search of a long-lost lover, only to drift through a single, liminal night where memory, dream, and reality blur. Filmed with an extended, nearly continuous take and lush neon-lit imagery, the film folds past and present into a hypnotic inquiry into longing, time, and the price of desire. It sits at the intersection of romance, mystery, and experimental cinema.
