(France/Portugal/2010-directed by Raúl Ruiz) In 19th-century Lisbon, a teenager raised by priests learns an extraordinary secret about his lineage; a French heiress seeks revenge against the man who besmirched her honor; a kindly padre changes identities whenever it’s to his advantage. These are but a few of the many characters who populate Raúl Ruiz’s teeming, breathtaking adaptation of one of the most beloved masterworks of Portuguese literature.
