On the occasion of the theatrical release of his highly anticipated third feature RESURRECTION, journey into the mesmerizing world of Bi Gan, the Chinese auteur whose labyrinthine, dreamlike narratives and immersive, mind-bogglingly epic long takes have rapidly established him as one of contemporary cinema’s most exciting voices. His dazzling ambition is already on full display in his debut feature, KAILI BLUES, an audacious time-slipping odyssey through rural China’s past, present, and future built around an astonishing forty-one-minute outdoor tracking shot. It’s surpassed only by the fifty-nine-minute unbroken take that concludes LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, a hallucinatory neonoir voyage into the unconscious mind.
