a new movie by Raul Ruiz! This alone is great news. If the film also takes 4 hours and 26 minutes, the story rises to the level of film and fiction, does anyone dare to propose to the public an experience so risky? For if anyone has dared and we welcome this.
But nobody panic. This is a film by Raul Ruiz of the kind that we consider not only its length does not damage, but plays in favor of letting go and wrapped up the stories as they slowly spiral into each other up close in an unexpected ending.
Ruiz has always loved the theatrical film (not the theater, that's another thing) and liked to play with the time factor, dragging their feet cinematically or narrating the tale. The three elements are combined perfectly in this nineteenth-century melodrama written by Camilo Castelo Branco which returns the air from the serial and serial novels.
Joao orphan's life and his search for the identity of their parents, opens in a multitude of stories in the stories, not like Russian dolls, but rather as a serpentine tangle the more you extend it. Without becoming detached Brechtian, with exquisite care in the way (clothes, atmosphere, space), this melodrama without drama can be exciting if you come into your game. Worth doing. Worth abandoned in the hands of Father Dinis to go untangling the incredible web of life of Joao, also known as Pedro Da Silva, in his cross to investigate the most mysterious Lisbon, Paris noblest, the most beautiful and Venice Brazil is not seen but dreamy.
This is a rare pearl in the billboard. Do not let her escape.
