Resurrections isn’t that interested in fighting. The love story is the draw. Where the key image of The Matrix ‘99 is Neo bending backward to avoid bullets, here it’s Tom Anderson leaning forward to hear Carrie-Anne Moss’ Tiffany talk about her life. Because Neo had to be pulled out of the matrix before he could fall in love, we never before got to see these two in a love story that felt like our own lives: a successful but depressed man in a San Francisco coffee shop talking to a mother-of-two in denial about her own needs. The scene is shot simply…but it feels electric. It’s jarringly honest, more like a moment in an Eric Rohmer or Richard Linklater film than something you’d see in a science-fiction action sequel.
Compare the coffee shop scene to Resurrections’ lackluster Tokyo train fight. It’s clear that to Lana, the real action in this movie is human connection. Lana strips back the Matrix aesthetic in search of what’s beyond the desert of the real. What remains is love.
When I first tweeted my thoughts about Resurrections, some people responded with variations of, ‘Just say you like a bad movie.’ But this isn’t about good and bad. This is about looking at the aesthetics and asking why the film is how it is. Good and bad is a silly binary to put on any film, especially one that rejects binaries over and over again.
So what’s left after Lana’s assault on her own franchise? The love for a woman, the love of a woman, and the power of that woman in love.
