The burnt out agent who refuses to come in from the cold to take a desk job.
A feverish dream whose sinuous camera movements take you on a long journey into memory and fear and a night full of dreams – with influences from David Lynch, Wong Kar-wai. It is a film about obsessive love, lost love, and that Dantesque dark wood in which, in middle-age, you can suddenly find yourself, with a longing for the past and a creeping dread of the future. Both halves of the movie are virtual compendiums of references to Tarkovsky, but do little more than affirm Bi Gan’s aesthetic principles — or, to put it more colloquially, give you a look inside his head.
