路边野餐

Bi Gan’s debut feature Kaili Blues defies narrative conventions, immersing the viewer in a dreamlike odyssey through the misty landscapes of southern China. A former convict sets out on a journey to find his lost nephew, leading him into a labyrinth of memory, poetry, and stunning long takes that distort the passage of time.

With its hypnotic cinematography and existential undertones, Kaili Blues establishes Bi Gan as a master of cinematic trance, crafting a film that feels like an extended dream—fragile, fragmented, and endlessly mesmerizing. (CiLENS)
