About
Chester Film Society presents a screening of the feature film Resurrection, made up with Picturehouse as part of a diverse programme of world cinema. In a future where humanity has traded its ability to dream for immortality, an outcast (Jackson Yee) finds illusion, nightmarish visions and beauty in an intoxicating world of his own making. A work of staggering imagination from visionary Chinese director Bi Gan (Long Day's Journey Into Night), it conjures vast, ever-shifting worlds on the brink of collapse in an era-spanning journey through our deepest and most human desires. The cast also includes Shu Qi, Mark Chao, Li Gengxi, Huang Jue and Chen Yongzhong.

Critics
7.5Very good
Critics praise the film's dazzling, hypnotic imagery, its playful journey through cinema history, and its sensory richness and ambition. The main faults cited are its impenetrability, fragmentation and pacing that alienates or bores some viewers.
