Cannes Film Festival 2025: The red carpet during the red carpet for Bi Gan’s « Resurrection »

Bi Gan's "Resurrection" is the third feature film in competition to grace the red carpet, creating an aesthetic shock at this Cannes Film Festival.

The red carpet is becoming a hot topic today, May 22nd, and offers an opportunity to keep up with the latest fashion news. While Spring Fashion Week is over and we eagerly await Fall’s, the red carpet offers us the opportunity to stay connected to fashion thanks to the elegance of iconic movie stars.

The premiere of « Resurrection » brought together a constellation of celebrities on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, adorned with the most daring pieces from Maison Messika, worn by its founder Valérie Messika in a contemporary vision of fine jewelry.

Shu Qi, a Chinese actress with magnetic charisma and a member of the film’s cast, wore the Diamond Frequencies bracelet, an emerald earring, and the Illusionists ring. Between futuristic lines and mineral radiance, she embodies a modern woman, confident in her discreet power.

The young Chinese director has created a masterpiece that sets the record straight, in the final stretch of a competition that is rather lacking in grand formalist gestures.

With this 2-hour-40-minute feature film, Bi Gan weaves a « sensory odyssey » through cinema and memory. Through six autonomous narratives linked by a female figure, the 35-year-old Chinese filmmaker invites viewers to witness the dreams of a « Dreamer » played by Yi Yangqianxi. Each segment corresponds to different eras of cinema and pays homage to a sense, including sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and perception.

They reveal themselves as closed vessels, units of place and time with impassable boundaries. It’s all in the film’s title—with every death, its rebirth. With each character who disappears, a new one resurfaces, continuing to carry this almost cryptic tale to its grandiose conclusion.

According to the Chinese director, each of these chapters corresponds to a very specific sense: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, followed by an addition of his own invention: the mind.

With « Resurrection, » in competition, he projects his characters into a technological future that he links to tales and snippets of Chinese history. Tonight’s red carpet is also musical.
