Resurrection, by Bi Gan

The imagery, i.e. cinematography, composition, choreography and blocking, varies from amazing to mind-blowing.

Homages to German Expressionism, Film Noir, Kurosawa, 70’s style luminous lenses, a contemporary one-take story, every technique in film history and new creativity too!

NB this anthology of dream sequences will refuse to make any rational sense, during its mentally challenging runtime, so…

Basically you need to prepare to not understand the dream stories rationally and to commit to the full runtime even when tired.

I found it helped to get some spoilers from someone who knew what he was trying to suggest about different eras of Chinese history (and knowing basic Buddhist concepts, and what a Jataka tale is)
