导演阐述

加缪在《鼠疫》里有过这样一种描述，“他们对当前心急如焚,与往昔水火不容,谈未来却又前途渺茫”，这正是我每年回到老家看到人们的感受，在东北农村那样一片贫瘠和被遗弃的土地上，我感受最多的就是所有人都无所依，生存无所依，精神也无所依，这也就是为什么各种宗教在东北乡下还如此盛行的原因，人到底需要信仰吗？每个人心中都有一个自己的神，《吾神》的故事只是一个载体，故事里，有的人把病痛依托于神，有的誓死捍卫神，有的是彻底的实用主义者，那个神真的存在吗？我在所处的世界有太多人无法解释的境况，这个世界是什么样的？这个世界以外又是什么？人的存在又是什么？这些全是我创作的源头和追问，我也不知道答案。

Director’s Statement

Albert Camus has such a description in The plague, “they are worried about the present, frustrated about the past and confused about the future.” This is exactly what I feel when I come back to my hometown every year.

In the barren and abandoned land of rural northeast, what I noticed about the most is that there is nothing everyone can rely on. There is no place to rely on for their survival and spirit, which is the reason why a variety of religions have become so prevalent in rural Northeast. Do people really need their faith? Everyone has their own god in his/her mind.

The filmResurrection is just a carrier. In this film, someone believe god can cure their diseases, someone vow to defend their god, someone are radical functionalists. So, does the god really exist? I'm in a world where too many people can't explain what the world is like. What is beyond the world? What is human existence? These are all my resources and questions for creating this film, and I don't know the answer yet.

Synopsis

It’s a story related to Chinese belief and religion. An old woman has paralyzed for many years and she was looked after by her eldest son. One day she dead, but she suddenly resurrects during her funeral. The son hesitates for a few seconds then he decides to bury his mother immediately. After that day, a series of accidents happened: the little son gets a strange disease. His continuing yelling and cursing scared everyone, and everything falls into chaos. The protagonist is trying everything to cure his little son, everyone’s religion in this story was examined by this accident.

“一部尖刻而凶猛的准类型片。宗教与乡村彼此嫁接，一家人在阴冷诡异的精神荒野中，徒劳地追寻脆弱信仰。”

“It is an acerbic and strong genre film which intertwines the topics of religion and country. It shows the journey of a family effortlessly pursuing the vulnerable belief in a cold spiritual wasteland. ”
