About ** See Bi Gans debut feature before the upcoming release of Long Days Journey into Night! **
An audacious, richly imagined feature debut that has collected prizes around the world, Kaili Blues heralds the arrival of a major new filmmaker. Chen, a preoccupied doctor working in a small clinic in the rain-drenched city of Kaili, decides to fulfill his late mothers wish and sets off on a journey to look for his brothers abandoned child. His partner in the clinic, a lonely old lady, asks him to also find her former lover, giving him a photograph, a shirt, and a music cassette. On the way, Chen passes through a mysterious town where distinctions between past, present, and future appear to slip away.
Absolutely extraordinary. Blessed with a magic and mystery that is utterly unique. Jonathan Demme
Astonishing first film about a geography of the soul. Delineated by time, trains and regret Contains a 40-minute single shot that traces a map of Kaili with poetic prodigious filmic chops. Why? Cinema. Why? Life. Guillermo del Toro
