An epic journey, faithfully adapted to modern-day. Christian faces distractions, challenges, and perils at every turn of the way. But ends victorious, with helpful guides, qiwan.cc as he stays on the narrow path to the distant Celestial City.

One of the most widely praised American avant-garde films in recent years, James Benning's 1977 feature is a laconic mosaic of single-shot sequences, each offering some sort of image/sound pun or paradox. At once a crypto-narrative with an abstract, peekaboo storyline and a fractured, painterly study of the American midwestern landscape, 11x14 points toward the creation of a new, non-literary but populist cinema.(James Hoberman, who chose 11 x 14 as one of the top ten films of the seventies (Film Comment, January 1980) and later wrote the above text in The Village Voice)

天下没有不散的宴席。然而主人的魅力以及客人心的属性，却可左右宴席的长短、有无。老电影院里，跛脚售票员（陈湘琪）虽有心设宴，年轻的放映员（李康生）却无心做客；电影《龙门客栈》里的剑客（石隽）在自己的旧影像里沉醉落泪，时间却早已无情的将其抛在身后；日本男子如幽灵般找寻着，然而并没同性想在他身边作长久的停留。即使电影院早已不见昔日的繁华，变得安静异常，却仍不能与家（哪怕旅馆）的功用相提并论。出入其间的，是或多或少想将自己在黑暗中隐藏封闭的人，他们有着天真而诡异的想法，可是时间是最靠不住的（人老会死，电影院老会被拆），相信它只会换来更多伤心。

炎灵儿（罗米饰）原为太上老君八卦炉里的火灵，在孙悟空（陈浩民饰）大闹天宫时，为他的桀骜所吸引，后随八卦炉坠落火焰山，一直在此默默守候孙悟空的到来，可谓是“为爱守候千年”的典范了。
