Prix Spécial, Cannes Film Festival. In a future where humanity has surrendered its ability to dream in exchange for immortality, an outcast (Jackson Yee) 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, Resurrection (2025) conjures vast and ever-shifting worlds on the brink of collapse in an era-spanning journey through our deepest and most human desires.
“What makes the film especially delectable is that Bi Gan changes visual styles and narrative techniques throughout this movie odyssey… a cinephile’s delight.”
