"Resurrection" had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Ever since, it has been receiving exceptional reviews from critics and audiences for its incredible craftsmanship and mesmerizing storytelling. The film also won the 2025 Cannes Special Prize and played at the 63rd New York Film Festival. Bi Gan, the director, writer, and co-editor of "Resurrection," was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about this amazing film he made. You can listen to the interview below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters in New York and Los Angeles and continues its nationwide expansion courtesy of Janus Films in early 2026.

I would like to thank Bi Gan for sitting down with me for this interview! I would also like to thank Vincent Cheng, who translated our conversation. It was truly a pleasure to talk with Bi Gan about the great film he made, "Resurrection." The technical work on display, the performances, and more are all top-tier, and it is certainly another masterfully directed film from him!
