Overview
- Janus Films has released Resurrection in theaters, marking Bi Gan’s third feature after Kaili Blues and Long Day’s Journey Into Night.
- The film imagines a world where foregoing dreams promises longevity and a persecuted group of dreamers called Deliriants faces eradication by enforcers known as Other Ones.
- Jackson Yee plays a Deliriant pursued by Shu Qi’s Other One, with the narrative unfolding through dream vignettes linked to distinct film eras and the five senses.
- The review highlights lavish production design by Liu Qiang and Tu Nan and praises set pieces that evoke silent-era spectacle and later long-take bravura.
- The critic argues the film’s museum-like pastiche and genre-hopping structure are technically dazzling yet emotionally hollow and overly imitative.
