Recuerdos Chilenos
Había recién llegado a Nueva York a fines de los 90s, estaba completamente perdido, superado por la experiencia de tener que mutar, de dejar de ser solamente chileno para entender esta multicultural y devoradora ciudad, cuando me encontré con una raída copia en VHS de ‘On Top of the Whale’, un ovni cinematográfico que, además de dejarme aún más descolocado, me tuvo 5 minutos llorando de la risa. En medio de todo aquello que le daba vida esta enigmática cinta, aparece una de las vociferadas - o chuchadas, como dicen en Chile- más notables,...

Above: Le film à venir (1997).
Notebook is unfurling a series of tributes to Raúl Ruiz entitled Blind Man's Bluff: along with some previously published articles, here in English for the first time, the bulk a compilation of new, shorter pieces from a few generous critics and Ruizians on favorite moments from a vast, subterranean filmography. For more from Raúl Ruiz: Blind Man's Bluff see the Table of Contents.
The Golden Boat (1990)
A man follows a trail of beat-up shoes left discarded along a New York sidewalk. They lead him to an older man, who sits crouched on the street, crying. “This, my son, is not my place,” the older man proclaims—and then stabs himself. So begins The Golden Boat—“a game between soap opera and reality,” as Ruiz called it—his first film in America, made in exile over a few long weekends during a teaching stint at Harvard.

Over the next couple weeks, Notebook will be unfurling a series of tributes to Raúl Ruiz: along with some previously published articles, here in English for the first time, the bulk a compilation of new, shorter pieces from a few generous critics and Ruizians on favorite moments from a vast, subterranean filmography. This small, mock-filmography shouldn’t be taken as anything like a comprehensive grip on Ruiz’s films or even incomprehensive grip: the Rouge annotated filmography remains the essential, critical card catalogue. Instead, something like this collection of close-readings can probably only show the ways Ruiz eludes chronology and anything but a kaleidoscopic perspective onto his work. Hopefully it can hint at the many phantom Ruizes unconsidered here while pin-pointing some pivotal moments in a pivoting career.
As we publish the pieces in batches by decade, the links below will be...
