Considered China's biggest arthouse hit of all time, Bi Gan's noir-tinged stunner follows a lost soul on a quest to find a missing woman from his past. Following leads across Guizhou province, he crosses paths with a series of colorful characters. When the search leads him to a dingy movie theater, the film launches into an hour-long shot that plunges its protagonist into a labyrinthine cityscape.
