8. Long Day's Journey Into Night

After his critically acclaimed directorial debut "Kaili Blues," 29-year-old director Bi Gan managed to get a bigger budget to upgrade his artistic dream into a mysterious and poetic journey. Starring Tang Wei, Huang Jue, Sylvia Chang and Li Hongqi, the film is about memory and love with a magical realist portrayal, following a man who has returned to his hometown in Guizhou 12 years after his good friend was murdered, to begin the search for a woman who could be the lover of the murderer still at large. The film contains a nearly hour-long, nearly surreal long take shot entirely in 3D during the second half of the film. It is a bold visual experiment and an innovative way to create the memorable experience, while being a necessary approach to help the audience understand and become immersed in the young director's vision and his unique dream-like world.
