Raul Ruiz

in conversation with Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli, 27 November 2007

Trained as a painter, and having written over 100 plays before starting in the cinema, the Chilean filmmaker is one of the most prolific directors of the last 50 years. His films have been characterized as ironic, surrealistic and deeply experimental, and include Three Lives and One Death (1996) starring Marcello Mastroianni, Genealogies of a Crime (1997) with Catherine Deneuve, Le Temps retrouvé (1999) with Emmanuelle Béart and Klimt (2006) starring John Malkovich.
