Resurrection is Bi Gan’s love letter to cinema and a meditation on the endurance of dreams amidst fading images.
Unfolding in a series of dreams, Resurrection is composed of six chapters that weave together key moments in 20th-century film and Chinese history. The narrative drifts ethereally yet inexorably towards a future where humanity has lost the ability to dream.
With an ensemble cast spanning multiple timelines, Jackson Yee’s ever-morphing protagonist reincarnates across different eras, whilst a Miss Shu played by Shu Qi serves as the film’s narrator. Bi Gan’s auteuristic design animates every frame: shadow-stained compositions steeped in the expressionist tradition and extended tracking shots that bend time and history into a cyclical reverie. Its mise-en-scène becomes a terrain where past and future, myth and cinema merge into one.
