Resurrection (2025)
Thursday, 15 January, 2026

Hear 'Deliriants' Josh and Andrew describe their dream of Bi Gan’s long-awaited follow-up to Long Day's Journey into Night, the arthouse celebration/eulogy to cinema Resurrection. The hosts go into the weeds of the head-scratching metaphor and genre-bending ode to the five senses that is the Chinese wunderkind's epic “porterhouse steak" of a cinematic meal. Throughout, prepare to ask the important questions, such as, “Do your dreams have film cuts?”Next, Josh and Andrew go into One More Thing, recommending Stephen Frears’ Terrance Stamp-starring 80s crime film The Hit and the hidden gems of cult film streaming service Eternal Family.Until next time, read on at thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.
