Resurrection, winner of the Jury Special Prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, will soon be available to watch at home.
Variety has learned that the genre-bending Chinese sci-fi epic will stream March 24 on the Criterion Channel. A physical media release will follow on April 21 via Criterion Premieres.
With his senses-ravishing third feature, writer-director Bi Gan (Long Day’s Journey Into Night) takes his deepest plunge yet into the realm of pure cinematic dreamscape. Watch the trailer below.
In a world where humans have forsaken dreams in exchange for immortality, a dreaming monster embarks on a shape-shifting odyssey through illusion, beauty, and terror that takes him across the twentieth century and to the end of time.
The film unfolds in five 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.
Jackson Yee and Shu Qi star with Mark Chao, Li Gengxi, Huang Jue, and Chen Yongzhong.
Distributor Janus Films describes Resurrection as “a work of breathtaking imagination in which cinema is the ultimate portal to the unconscious mind.”
