La Chouette Aveugle [The Blind Owl] (1987) Directed by Raúl Ruiz Review below (by Luc Moullet!!) ****** "All through the film, there are three categories of images – reality, dream, and projected movie – and Ruiz never stops looking for ways to confuse them. Moreover, the dream is influenced by the movie screened. Both dream and movie are characterised by their Oriental context, which is also not absent from reality (the Arabic cinema and Kassem). It becomes es increasingly useless and impossible to tell them apart. During this incoherent, contradictory dream, a young woman dies in the hero’s bedroom – an event for which he is not responsible. However, as ‘she had only come to my place on the condition of not being spotted by anyone’, our man places the corpse (which he has cut into pieces) in a trunk, which he then carries on foot in the street, then in his car towards a forest, where he hurls it in the river."
