Resurrection is not a film you simply watch — it is a film you surrender to. Set in a near future where humanity has abandoned the dream of immortality, the enigmatic Fantasmer refuses to accept the limits of time and mortality. Drifting through eras, memories, and identities, he appears as a phantom of silent cinema, a noir antihero, a gangster, and a restless wanderer on the threshold of a new millennium. Meanwhile, a woman gifted with the ability to separate reality from illusion tries to reach him before he disappears completely into the labyrinth of his own imagination.
With breathtaking visual ambition, director Bi Gan guides us through a century of cinematic dreams. Each chapter transforms before our eyes, shifting from expressionist silent film to seductive noir and mesmerizing long takes where time seems to dissolve. Images flow like memories, the camera glides through impossible spaces, and every frame feels suspended between dream and reality.
Rather than offering a puzzle to be solved, Resurrection invites audiences to lose themselves in its spell. It is a dazzling celebration of cinema, imagination, and desire — a hypnotic journey through the history of film and the landscapes of the human mind. Mysterious, beautiful, and profoundly immersive, it lingers long after the screen fades to black.
