Bi Gan's *Wild Times* splits Cannes viewers

Chinese director Bi Gan's film *Wild Times* has divided audiences at the Cannes Film Festival, with some praising its experimental style and others finding it emotionally disconnected. The film, titled *Resurrection* in French, features a visually complex and poetic narrative exploring themes of time and memory, but its lengthy runtime and fragmented structure led to mixed reactions. Critics noted the film's reliance on visual artistry over narrative coherence. This marks Bi Gan's third feature film, following *Kaili Blues* and *Long Day's Journey Into Night*. The film stars Shu Qi and Yi Yangqianxi.
