Love Torn In A Dream
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Raúl Ruiz
2000 / 123min / 35mm
Comprised of nine overlapping stories, eight of them period pieces set in the 17th and 18th centuries and all located in Portugal, Ruiz’s knotty cinematic labyrinth without a center boasts a choir of blind children, pirate spirits in search of treasure, mysterious manuscripts, magic mirrors, a brothel staffed by former nuns, a theology student thrown into crisis by his reading of Descartes, and many more exotic attractions besides. “Richly and colorfully mounted… Charming and hilarious… Something of a compendium of Ruiz’s work, but more a larger-than-life analogue of his teeming brain… A skewed version of The Arabian Nights.” —Tony Pipolo, Artforum
