Country:United States of America

Director:Raul Ruiz

Program:Parralel Pathways

Summary:

No selection of films concerning Parallel Universes would be complete without a contribution from Chilean master Raul Ruiz whose oeuvre is largely devoted to infinitely multiplying narratives. This potentially simple film, often forgotten, was Ruiz’ attempt at a popular Hollywood product, illustrating how impossible it is for him to turn in a reasonable facsimile. Confusing realities quickly surface for a fragile young woman recovering from rape and an attempted suicide. In one reality, she is a vicious destroyer of men.
