Bi Gan’ s post-apocalyptic tale on memory
In a post-apocalyptic future, a woman brings an android back to life by recounting the history of China. With Kuang Ye Shi Dai( Resurrection), one of this year’ s feature films in Competition, Chinese director Bi Gan continues his exploration of the space between the real and the imaginary. He takes us on a sensorial odyssey through poetic scenes imbued with the imaginative and speculative, where memory and technology merge and meld.
