Bi Gan’s Cannes Winner ‘Resurrection’ Nabbed by Janus Films for North America (EXCLUSIVE)
Janus Films has acquired North American rights to 'Resurrection,' the Special Award winner at the Cannes Film Festival from Chinese filmmaker Bi Gan.
The film, which premiered in competition at Cannes, marks the third feature from Bi Gan, whose previous credits include “Kaili Blues” and “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” Told in six parts spanning a century, “Resurrection’s” framing story takes place in a world where humanity has lost the ability to dream, with one creature remaining entranced by the fading illusions of the dreamworld. “Bi Gan’s ‘Resurrection’ is a kaleidoscopic, time-skipping, genre-mashing odyssey through cinema and dreams that will thrill fans of daring, visionary filmmakers like David Lynch, Andrei Tarkovsky, Leos Carax and Wong Kar-wai,” Janus Films said in a statement.
