Life Is a Dream: The Films of Raúl Ruiz (Part 2)
February 9 - 18, 2018
In Ruiz’s playfully elegiac final masterwork, loosely adapted from the fantastical short stories of Chilean writer Hernán del Solar, an elderly office worker begins reliving memories from his past, both real and imagined, including a childhood trip to the movies with Beethoven and listening to tall tales from Long John Silver. An NYFF50 selection.
On the verge of forced retirement, an elderly office worker (Sergio Hernández) begins reliving memories from his past, both real and imagined: a trip to the movies as a young boy with Beethoven, listening to tall tales from Long John Silver, a brief stay in a haunted hotel, conversations with a writer’s fictional doppelgänger. Stories are hidden within stories and the thin line between imagination and reality steadily erodes, opening up a marvelous new world of personal remembrance and melodrama. In his final masterwork, loosely adapted from the fantastical short stories of Chilean writer Hernán del Solar, Ruiz has crafted a playfully elegiac film that addresses his favorite subjects: fiction, history, and life itself. An NYFF50 selection.
