SERIES LIMITADASdirigida por RAÚL RUIZ Portugal, 2010
In 19th-century Lisbon, a young boy named Joao begins to unravel the mystery of his parentage, setting off a sweeping tale of hidden identities, ancient secrets, and fateful encounters. Over three decades and across multiple countries, a web of interconnected lives slowly reveals its full design.
Raúl Ruiz’s sweeping melodramatic epic is magisterial in its novelistic ambition. A Dickensian saga of great expectations, this extended version presents Mysteries of Lisbon in six parts, providing a rare opportunity to get lost in the endlessly generating passageways of Ruiz’s complete vision.
