Product Description In a small clinic in the rain-drenched city of of Kaili, two preoccupied doctors live ghost-like lives. One of them, Chen, decides to fulfill his dead mothers wish and sets off on a train journey to look for his brothers abandoned child. Review "Astonishing first film about a geography of the soul. Delineated by time, trains and regret... Contains a 40 minute single shot that traces a map of Kaili with poetic prodigious filmic chops. Why? Cinema. Why? Life." --Guillermo del Toro, filmmaker"Astonishing. Bi's singular vision bears comparison to those of other geniuses such as Tarkovsky, Sokurov, David Lynch, Luis Buñuel and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Like those auteurs, he achieves what film is best at but seldom accomplishes - a stirring of a deeper consciousness, a glimpse into a reality transcending the everyday." --Peter Keough, Boston Globe"A tour de force... The most elusive and the most memorable new movie that I ve seen in quite some time.... manages to evoke Resnais, Tarkovsky, Hou Hsiao-hsien without ever seeming derivative." --J. Hoberman, New York Review of Books
