Film – Bi Gan
Resurrection — English subs
In a future world, humanity has given up dreaming in exchange for a longer life. Yet a few people still retain the ability to dream.
One of them, Miss Shu, enters the dreams of a mysterious man. Her journey takes her through six sensory tales spanning a century of Chinese history and cinema. The third feature film by Bi Gan (Kaili Blues, Long Day’s Journey into Night) is both a lyrical and unsentimental love letter to the art of filmmaking. Resurrection is structured as six chapters, each embodying a different sense, a distinct period in Chinese history, and a unique cinematic style, ranging from silent film to noir and melodrama.
These stories reveal how cinema shapes our perception of time, memory, and reality, while the film’s stunning visual style captures dreamscapes through long, fluid takes and a hypnotic interplay of colour, light, and shadow. Bi Gan’s signature flourish—an exceptionally long single take—is also present. For those willing to surrender themselves to its dream logic, Resurrection offers an unpredictable, immersive, and electrifying cinematic experience.
