Subtitles (Accessibility Info)
With his senses-ravishing third feature, visionary director Bi Gan (Long Day’s Journey Into Night) takes his deepest plunge yet into the realm of pure cinematic dreamscape. Unfolding in five dazzlingly imagined chapters that encompass everything from silent-cinema expressionism to film noir to a delirious vampire love story shot in one of Bi’s signature long takes, Resurrection is a work of breathtaking imagination in which cinema is the ultimate portal to the unconscious mind.
In a world where humans have forsaken dreams in exchange for immortality, a dreaming monster (Jackson Yee) embarks on a shape-shifting odyssey through illusion, beauty, and terror that takes him across the twentieth century and to the end of time.
Reviews
"A rewarding watch that gives us another idea of what movies can do, even if Bi Gan seems to be mostly mourning their demise." – The Hollywood Reporter
