Night Across the Street

The final film by acclaimed Chilean director Raúl Ruiz, completed mere months before his passing, offers the poetic account of an elderly office worker (Sergio Hernández) who engages in deep reveries as he approaches a forced retirement from his job. What he experiences turns out to be not just the typical memories of youth, but recollections tinged with the fanciful─including encounters with Long John Silver and Beethoven. Christian Vadim, Valentina Vargas co-star. 110 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: Portuguese Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; documentary "Ballet Aquatique" (2011); theatrical trailer. In Portuguese with English subtitles.
