Long Day's Journey Into Night (2018) Juan Barquin For some, the experience as a whole will feel purposely obtuse, and some might even argue boring, but those willing to engage with the romantic vision that Bi Gan has created will find themselves swept off their feet more than once.

Golden Youth (2019) Juan Barquin Golden Youth feels more like Whit Stillman's The Last Days of Disco, fascinated by the way individuals try to grift their way through an era of wild parties and grand proclamations.
