Ruiz's adult fairytale has no city nor pirates but crazy colors, incomprehensible plot and Anne Alvaro's long, emotionless face. It has something to do with Ophelia complex and being trapped by family, gender, history, time.… I find the equivalent to Ruiz’s dreamlike lucidity only in writings of Proust. No wonder then, he adapted the author in Time Regained. #cityofpirates #raulruiz #chileancinema #frenchcinema #surrealism #experimentalfilms
