“A soul-stirring feat that will inspire generations to come.” -Tomris Laffly, ELLE

In a future where humanity has surrendered its ability to dream in exchange for immortality, an outcast (Jackson Lee) finds illusion, nightmarish visions, and beauty in an intoxicating world of his own making.  A work of staggering imagination from visionary Chinese director Bi Gan (Long Day’s Journey Into Night), Resurrection conjures vast and ever-shifting worlds on the brink of collapse in an era-spanning journey through our deepest and most human desires.

[Grade A-] “A film that is both about the wonder of dreams and cinema itself… it sees the director pushing himself into yet more exciting new places, just as he brings the same commitment to his craft.”
– Chase Hutchinson, The Playlist

“[RESURRECTION] is bold and ambitious, visually amazing, trippy and woozy in its embrace of hallucination and the heightened meaning of the unreal and the dreamlike.” 
– Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“A time-tripping, genre-jumping paean to the big screen in which [Bi Gan] revives the films he loves and then buries them a second time over — hoping, perhaps, to resurrect cinema in the process.”
-Jordan Minzter, The Hollywood Reporter

“Along the way, [RESURRECTION] riffs on “Blade Runner” and “Holy Motors”; pays homage to the Lumière brothers, F. W. Murnau, and Georges Méliès; and burrows deep into the landscape of genre, where spies, gangsters, spirits, monsters, and vampires hold the keys to cinema’s enduring popularity and its capacity for renewal.” -Justin Chang, New Yorker
