Dir. Raúl Ruiz, 2011, Portugal, NR, 257min plus 10min intermission, HD
 

Raul Ruiz’s masterful adaptation of the eponymous nineteenth-century Portuguese novel (by Camilo Castelo Branco) evokes the complex intertwined narratives of Victor Hugo and Charles Dickens. In this Lisbon of intrigue and hidden identities, we encounter a series of characters all somewhat linked to the destiny of Pedro da Silva, an orphan in a boarding school. Father Dinis, a descendent of the aristocratic libertines, later becomes a hero who defends justice; a countess maddened by her jealousy and set on vengeance and a prosperous businessman who mysteriously made his fortune as a bloodthirsty pirate. These and many more characters all cross in a story set in the 19th century while searching for the true identity of our main character.

Critics Pick! "An absorbing, astonishingly fast four and a quarter hours... Mr. Ruiz keeps you hooked, pulled in by the sympathetic and comically off-putting performances and by his delightful, supple, fully cinematic storytelling."
- Manolha Dargis, NY Times

"Once you start to ride with the rapturous, gorgeous, digressive symphony of images and words and music in this film it's completely absorbing and unlike anything you've ever seen." - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
