Movie Review: Resurrection Revives 100 Years of Movie-Making for One Long Dream

It's ambitious to make a movie about how making movies is like harvesting dreams, projecting viewers' inner lives back at them, often to visceral, abstract, and sometimes tummy-hurting ends. This is ambitious for even the director of Long Day's Journey into Night, a puzzling 2018 noir that concludes with a 56-minute continuous-shot meant to be experienced in 3D, and Kaili Blues (2015), which boasts its own 41-minute unbroken take. To say the least: This is not easy shit to pull off.
