Bi Gan, whose mesmerizing Long Day’s Journey into Night screened at the Museum in 2018, directs this ambitious sci-fi detective movie starring Chinese superstar Jackson Yee (Better Days) and actress Shu Qi (The Assassin). In a future where humanity has surrendered its ability to dream in exchange for immortality, an outcast finds illusion, nightmarish visions, and beauty in an intoxicating world of his own making. Described by the New York Film Festival as “an elusive yet monumental love letter to a century of cinema, unfolding over five chapters that feature a dazzling array of styles and genres.”
