“Film is a good way to experience your life, unlike all these different types of technology. It takes a kind of holistic completion to deal with information. Film is something that you need to consume in a very internalized way, where you need to have a dialogue with yourself from within. Because of this, the standpoint of this film is very, very clear that it is counter to the current trend of everything being fragmented.”

I went on down to Criterion and had a lovely chat with Bi Gan.
