The latest from Chinese auteur Bi Gan is a visually stunning, maximalist odyssey that unfolds like a reverie.

Set in a post-apocalyptic future where most of humanity has lost the ability to dream, a woman (Shu Qi, Viva Erotica) emerges from brain surgery and discovers one lone android still capable of doing so, drifting through visions of Chinese history that only she can interpret.

Gifted with the rare power to perceive illusions for what they truly are, she enters the monster’s dreams on a quest to uncover the hidden truths they contain. Moody, mesmerizing, and formally daring, Resurrection is an immersive, soul-stirring meditation on memory, myth, and the dreamlife of a nation, all underscored by M83’s electronic composition and brought to life through Gan’s signature poetic visual language.

“Cinema with a capital ‘C’…tailor-made for those viewers
who fantasize about being trapped in the Criterion closet”
