Long Day's Journey Into Night (2018) IMDB
I am a big fan of Film Noir so any movie that has that genre is on my watchlist. When I read about this movie I noticed it mentioned getting lost in a labyrinth and I knew I had to watch it. Now the scene where this happens, our main character falls asleep in a movie theater and wakes up (or is dreaming?) on a railway track in an abandoned mine that is maze-like. Eventually he finds a young boy who leads him out. A bit of a letdown for a maze scene but let’s talk about the entire movie. Lou, our main character, is haunted by the memory of a woman he knew from his past that disappeared. The movie is then a series of scenes as Lou tries to track down what happened to the woman. I would describe more of the plot, but it is a series of interesting and weird scenes strung together on the journey. The film has a mood and the cinematography is excellent. Honestly, I would have liked it more had I understood what was going on more. You would think having to read subtitles translated from Mandarin would have helped, but I was lost anyway.
I give it a 6/10. Watch it because it looks good on the screen.
