The film centers on Xiao Bai, a young dancer who unexpectedly receives a postcard from her former boyfriend, who left without saying goodbye three years earlier. This leads her to the town of Luomu in southwest China in search of answers to the unresolved questions of the past. With its minimalist rhythm and richly nostalgic atmosphere, Gloaming in Luomu continues to explore familiar themes in Zhang Lu’s cinema: memory, separation, and the human sense of dislocation before relationships that seemed to have already ended.
Zhang Lu (Zhang Lü, born in 1962 in Yanbian, China) is a director, screenwriter, and novelist. Zhang taught Chinese literature at Yanbian University before entering cinema at the age of 38. Without formal film training, he soon became recognized as one of the distinctive voices in contemporary Asian art-house cinema. His works often center on marginalized lives, memories of migration, and questions of cultural identity in Northeast Asia. His notable films include Grain in Ear (2005), Desert Dream (2007), Dooman River (2011), Gyeongju (2014), Ode to the Goose (2018), Fukuoka (2019), and The Shadowless Tower (2023). His films have been selected and awarded at major international film festivals, including Berlin, Locarno, and Busan.
