Our take

In another brilliantly miasmic fantasia from Chilean exile and master storyteller Raúl Ruiz, the great Marcello Mastroianni stars in his second-to-last role. An incredible, shape-shifting story passed from one character to the next, each each step gets stranger and more delightful than the last.
