Résurrection (2025)

This is a fever dream, with incredible visuals : artsy, obscure, lenghty

This movie was quite an incredible cinematic experience. It was really thought-provoking but also quite lengthy and difficult to digest in one sitting, which I did.

The story in itself felt like a fever dream, jumping the viewer from vignette to vignette with some striking visuals. Each story had its own graphic palette of colors and tones, its own way of filmmaking...The care on the esthetics, the meticulous attention to details, was the best part of the film. However, while the craft being outstanding, there was also a lack of clarity in the storytelling that felt a bit frustrating to me, making the viewing experience also somewhat tiresome. I wish they would have done the set up and the ending in a less conceptual way, to brought together better the whole movie.

Acting was really good with the minimalist cast doing a solid job. Especially Jackson Yee, who I didn't know and who was incredible in this. I am astonished at how good he is and the range he demonstrated. I will definitely be looking forward to watching him in more roles.

I would recommend this movie to people that enjoy artsy, conceptual and experimental movie. If you want a good brain scratch, this is the movie for you. It is for sure not without flaws in its storytelling and pacing, but it really leaves a strong lasting impression on the viewer who is bound to be left with many questions and thoughts.

Lovely and weird

I was deeply impressed by this movie even though it’s very possibly the weirdest film I have ever seen and that includes Eraserhead. The plot about dreaming is more of a framework for several short films whose meaning is difficult to determine. The first one, about two men and a mysterious suitcase, was my favorite. I also liked the last one, about two lovers attempting an escape on New Years Eve 2000. The acting was excellent and the imagery very striking, but at some point I stopped tryin to process it as a linear experience and just let it wash over me. If you like something different and mysterious I highly recommend it.
