“Resurrection” Poster (Nosferatu-sploitation)
The following news is NOT to be confused with The Resurrected Netflix series, which also stars Shu Qi:
On April 21, 2026, Criterion is releasing the Blu-ray & DVD for Resurrection, a 2025 sci-fi-fantasy thriller starring Shu Qi (The Assassin) and Jackson Yee (The Battle at Lake Changjin).
With his ravishing third feature, visionary director Bi Gan (The Long Day’s Journey Into Night) takes his deepest plunge yet into the realm of pure dreamscape. In a world where humans have forsaken dreams in exchange for immortality, a dreaming monster (Yee) embarks on a shape-shifting odyssey through illusion, beauty, and terror that takes him across a century of cinema and to the end of time.
Unfolding in five dazzlingly imagined chapters that encompass everything from silent-era expressionism to film noir to a delirious vampire love story shot in one of Bi’s signature long takes, Resurrection is a work of breathtaking imagination in which cinema is the ultimate portal to the unconscious mind.
Features:
- Meet the Filmmakers: Bi Gan, a Criterion Channel original interview
- Trailer

Who would have thought that Shu Qi would have gone on to become a credible actress?
She became a credible actress ages ago. It’s great that she’s still going strong.
