"Raúl Ruiz's majestic adaption of Portuguese novelist Camilo Castelo Branco's 1854 romantic epic Mistérios de Lisboa&mdashla brilliantly twisting tapestry of interlocking fates and identities--is this master filmmaker's final work. As such, Ruiz has crafted a beautiful monument to the narrative cinema: visually complex, telling a story of machinations and maneuvers that are never exactly as they seem." (Raúl Ruiz, 2010, high-definition DCP, 270 minutes with intermission) Read more about the film here.
