Author: Ruiz, Raul
This volume gathers excerpts from the diary of celebrated Chilean experimental film director Raul Ruiz. A continuation of Poetics of Cinema 1 and Poetics of Cinema 2, this book follows the late stage of Ruiz’s career in which he realised more ambitious productions. Selected by Bruno Cueno and Erik Bullot, friends of Ruiz, the writings also express the filmmaker’s pragmatic side, such as his prescriptions for implementing the theoretical concepts outlined in Poetics. These new films generated significant economic and aesthetic challenges, and he observed the increasing distance between his dream of a handmade, non-industrial, shamanic-inspired cinema and his reality.A preface by Bullot and notes by Cuneo contextualise the excerpts.Raul Ruiz (1941–2011) was an experimental Chilean filmmaker, writer and teacher who directed more than 100 films, including Dark at Noon (1992) starring John Hurt, Three Lives and Only One Death (1996) starring Marcello Mastroianni, Genealogies of a Crime (1997) starring Catherine Deneuve and Time Regained (1999) starring John Malkovich.
