Three intersecting ages of a man who can see the approach of death. Three rival souls. The final testament of Raúl Ruiz. “He had ‘Three Lives and only one Death’, to borrow the title of one of his best films, with Marcello Mastroianni. A life in Chile, from where he was exiled in 1973 after Augusto Pinochet’s coup d’état; a life in France, for almost thirty six years, and a third life, having lived through the liver transplant that should have killed him. Raúl Ruiz didn’t believe in death, any more than sleep. One day he explained to me that we appreciate a film more while asleep and that he wasn’t against the idea of spectators sleeping during his films. For was not one of these entitled THE INSOMNIAC ON THE BRIDGE? It tells the story of two insomniacs who manipulate people while they sleep. A possible metaphor for his role as a filmmaker.” (François Margolin)
