Long Day's Journey into Night[a] (Chinese: 地球最後的夜晚; pinyin: Dìqiú Zuìhòu de Yèwǎn; lit. 'Last evenings on Earth') is a 2018 Chinese drama film directed by Bi Gan. The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.[1][3][4] Despite the film's English-language title, it is unrelated to the 1956 Eugene O'Neill play of the same name.[5] It is notable for its final 59 minutes, which consists of one unbroken long take in 3D.[6]
