Night Across The Street
Country: Chile
Director: Raúl Ruiz
Fresh off the screen at Toronto’s Film Fest, this playful, yet melancholy drama is from one of the world's most distinctive film voices, the late, inestimable Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz. In this beautifully imaginative memoir – burnished by a golden haze – he casts a longing look back to his childhood, while anticipating his own imminent death. Audiences at last year’s Three Rivers Film Festival raved about his Mysteries of Lisbon. This film, released posthumously, is better still. (2012, 110 min)
