Resurrection

A glorious, maximalist epic and a love letter to a century of cinema, told through five chapters in different styles and genres, from visionary director Bi Gan.

Following the acclaimed Kaili Blues and Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Bi Gan continues to explore the borderland between dream and reality. Resurrection is set in a mysterious sci-fi world where eternal life has been achieved at the cost of dreams – yet a few still dare to dream, burning brightly but briefly. From this premise, the film launches into a mesmerizing odyssey through film history – a visual and emotional rollercoaster filled with surprises and stylistic brilliance. A bold and mesmerizing feat of filmmaking, Resurrection was honored with the Jury’s Special Prize at Cannes – underscored by M83’s evocative soundtrack.
