Resurrection 狂野时代

Let’s check out the latest work from Bi Gan!

With his senses-ravishing third feature, visionary Chinese writer-director Bi Gan (LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT) takes his deepest plunge yet into the realm of pure cinematic dreamscape. In a world where humans have forsaken dreams in exchange for immortality, a dreaming monster (Jackson Yee) embarks on a shape-shifting odyssey through illusion, beauty, and terror that takes him across the twentieth century and to the end of time. Unfolding in five dazzlingly imagined chapters that encompass everything from silent-cinema expressionism to film noir to a delirious vampire love story shot in one of Bi’s signature long takes, RESURRECTION is a work of breathtaking imagination in which cinema is the ultimate portal to the unconscious mind.

The movie is in Mandarin with English subtitles.

As it’s a late finishing screening I figured maybe a coffee catch up before the screening, so I’ll be at Breka bakery (855 Davie Street around the corner from the cinema) for 6pm. Then will head to the cinema for around 6:30pm, so anyone not looking to get coffee can meet us outside there.
The Cinematheque has a first come first serve seating policy so we’ll line up shortly after arriving ready for the 7pm screening.

See you there! :v)
