Resurrection (Kuángyě Shídài)

The boundaries between dream and reality blur in Bi Gan’s new masterpiece, which won the Prix Spécial at the Cannes Film Festival. In a sterile future devoid of dreams, a lonely wanderer breaks through the barriers of time and space. At the same time, during a medical procedure, a woman drifts into a timeless dimension where she encounters a sleeping android. Their stories become gateways to surreal realms of consciousness. A hypnotic science-fiction experience from China that captures the essence of human longing in intoxicating imagery. Soundtrack by M83.

In a world where humanity has given up dreaming in favor of eternal life, a young, nameless man embarks on a fantastical odyssey through time and space to save dreams from oblivion.

With his third film, *RESURRECTION*, the exceptional director Bi Gan (LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT) has created a visually stunning work of intoxicating fantasy—the kind cinema rarely dares to attempt—a sensory journey through the deepest longings of the human condition, whose images linger long after the film ends. Bi Gan is obsessed with cinema, just as his protagonist is obsessed with dreams, and was awarded the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for *RESURRECTION*. Starring: Chinese superstar Jackson Yee and the incomparable Shu Qi (THE ASSASSIN).

In a society where people stop dreaming to extend their lifespan, some dangerous individuals still dream, warping the fabric of time. We experience five dreams, one for each of the senses, each chronologically representing a period of cinema.
