Resurrection

Masterful Chinese director Bi Gan returns with a breathtaking tribute to cinema, a time-travelling odyssey set in a world of monsters and lovers.

Spanning a century of Chinese history, Resurrection is divided into six chapters, with each taking place in a specific cinematic era and genre. Characters in this epic time-travelling opus live forever, but at a high cost. A minority, the 'Deliriants', reject immortality in favour of something more powerful: the ability to dream.

A singular, striking ode to the power and prowess of cinema, this is another breathtaking experience for dreamers from the director of Kalli Blues and Long Day’s Journey Into Night. In an interview with Sight & Sound (which voted Resurrection one of the best films of 2025), Bi Gan revealed that “the mission of the film is...to inspire the imagination of the audience.” Mission accomplished.
