About

In a future where humanity has surrendered dreaming in exchange for immortality, a woman tracks down a monstrous "Deliriant", a dreamer, whose dreams warp the fabric of time itself. By installing a film projector in the dreamer's body, she gains access to a century of cinematic history through five shape-shifting dream chapters: a silent-era expressionist tale, a wartime espionage thriller, a Buddhist folktale, a con-artist caper, and finally a vampire romance unfolding on New Year's Eve 1999. Each segment adopts the visual language of its era, blurring genres and bending time.

Starring Jackson Yee, Shu Qi, Mark Chao

REVIEWS
"This kind of unhinged ambition is what cinema does better than anything else." ★★★★ Ed Potton, The Times

"A cavalcade of strange images that take the language of cinema into his sleeping fantasies and bring it back more vibrant than ever." ★★★★ Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle

"A soul-stirring feat that will inspire generations to come." Tomris Laffly, Elle

"Arriving at a moment when the movies have seldom felt more finite or more vulnerable... this astonishing work insists -- in its title, and in the heroic force of Bi's artistry and ambition -- that every end really is a new beginning." Justin Chang, The New Yorker
