About this Event
Raúl Ruiz's notorious, rarely seen feature—a surreal fantasy shaped by automatic writing and the ravishing sights of Portugeuse coasts—screens with writer and novelist Stephanie LaCava (I Fear My Pain Interests You, the forthcoming Nymph) presenting.
"Seductive. A potent blend of themes and images drawn from the avant-garde of the 1920s, Victorian children’s stories, and Hammer horror films. It’s useless to describe the plot, which flows with perfect dream logic from one mysterious episode to the next, but the overall atmosphere is one of violent whimsy, a combination of murderous intent and innocent appearance." — Dave Kehr
"Perhaps the most visually ravishing of Ruiz’s works. A refusal to cater to any particular audience, marginal or mainstream — or, put differently, a willingness to explore certain areas without any apparent compulsion to be commercially packageable." — Jonathan Rosenbaum
