Bi Gan's latest film, "Resurrection," released at Cannes, is a visually bold and ambitious project exploring themes of hallucination, memory, and time, although it lacks the profound impact of his previous work. The film is structured as a portmanteau and wraps an episodic journey through Chinese history culminating in New Year's Eve 1999, highlighting the contrast between modern capitalism and traditional values. It introduces a dissident character, the Fantasmer, who experiences dreams that allow him to reincarnate across different historical contexts, challenging the audience to reflect on overpopulation and the implications of dreams.
Bi Gan's new film "Resurrection" is a bold exploration of hallucination and memory in an episodic journey through Chinese history, featuring incredible visual storytelling.
While not as impactful as his previous work, "Long Day's Journey Into Night," the film presents a visually staggering experience, culminating in arresting images that contribute to its overall effect.
