Resurrection
A spectacular and fascinating journey from the director of LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT.
Humanity has discovered the key to a longer life: to stop dreaming. Life is – as the film repeatedly reminds us – like a candle; it lasts longer as long as no one lights it. Yet a few people still choose to live shorter but more meaningful lives – so-called «Fantasmers.» The director of Long Day's Journey Into Night (2019) once again takes you on a spectacularly visual and narratively otherworldly journey. It could hardly be more fascinating.
The film was screened in the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
