‘Resurrection’ Brings Bi Gan Back to Cannes With a ‘Movie Monster’ That Showcases a Century of Cinema: ‘A Celebration of Life on This Earth’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Chinese director Bi Gan returns to Cannes with 'Resurrection,' a six-part cinematic epic blending dreams, monsters and 100 years of film history.
In “Resurrection,” starring Jackson Yee, Shu Qi, Mark Chao, Li Gengxi, Huang Jue and Chen Yongzhong, humanity has lost the ability to dream, with only one creature still entranced by fading illusions of the dreamworld. Bi burst onto the international film scene with his 2015 debut “Kaili Blues,” which won best emerging director at Locarno and established his reputation for dreamy, poetic cinema featuring long takes. This structural approach represents a dramatic evolution from “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” which premiered in Un Certain Regard at Cannes and became an arthouse sensation with its audacious second half — an unbroken 59-minute sequence shot in 3D, requiring audience members to put on 3D glasses midway through the screening.
