An average movie

Raoul Ruiz is not really well known here in listal but he is actually a quite interesting director. He actually died just last year but he had a productive career, directing more than 100 movies. Even though he was Chilean, most of those movies were made in France as he fled his homecountry from Pinochet's dictatoship. Anyway, I heard a lot about the guy so I was really intrigued by his work and when I finally got the opportunity to get acquainted, I was rather thrilled. Eventually, even though most of his work is pretty obscure, I'm pretty sure this movie belongs to his most obscure ones. As a result, I can't say I really enjoyed this flick. I mean, the acting (above all by Bernard Gireaudeau and Elsa Zylberstein) was really good and I also enjoyed the rather surealistic directing reminiscent of Bunuel's work. Still, I thought the whole thing was pretty alienating and barely entertaining. To conclude, even though it was not entirely satisfying, I still think it is worth a look though, especially if you like the genre.
