Having just stepped out a steamy shower, imagine drying your body with a warm, heavily damp towel.

A delicately lit love dream, a dream so visually ravishing and aurally astonishing. Film is the blend of visuals and audio, and films like this make me realise more and more why I love film. This Chinese art piece is stunning; I recommend to literally everyone.

Swimming through a whole planet of exposition with it scripted at every bend, even these scenes of dialogue feel dreamy and spellbinding. Usually, pure exposition is a bad thing but it's so entrancing here, that I can't help but let it go. That's just the first half though...and wow! What a magical second half! I don't think I've seen long takes quite as good as this; I was speechless.

Bi Gan, who I had never heard of until now, has allowed me to sail away, he let me take a long day and turn it into night.

You can really get all the Tarkovsky's influence.

It felt as though instead of making a film, they tried to make ART, not knowing that art cannot be made. First you make a film you love and then you hope the art magically appears when you've finished.

Bi Gan peaked into my subconscious and picked from my absolute favorite films, mixed them up, and sprinkled them into one of the most unique films I’ve ever seen.

This is a knockout. This is :asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:it.:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:

I was looking for a more linear plot and wasn't expecting a surrealist film. Stunning cinematography and lighting, however I could not immerse myself in the story.

A very strange. Chinese story. It is impossible to understand the logic of the story. It is better to get carried away.
