A man goes back to his home village because his father died. Sounds like "Cinema Paradiso" (1988, Giuseppe Tornatore)?
In his hometown he is haunted by memories of an old friend who died under suspect circumstances and a mysterious woman. Sounds like a film noir?
"Long day's journey into night" is neither. The film has much more in common with "In the mood for love" (2000, Wong Kar Wai, sultry but platonic relationship) and "Stalker" (1979, Andrei Tarkovsky, fickleness of memories).
When I became a film buff in the beginning of the '90s, it was the highday of the 5th generation of directors in China (most notably Zhang Yimou). In 2019 there is again a Chinese new wave with films as "Long day's journey into night" and "An elephant sitting still" (2018, Bo Hu). Is this the 6th generation or maybe already the 7th?
