Drama, Fantasy
1h 25m
This quickly-filmed avant-garde farce by prolific director Raul Ruiz features an insomniac (Michel Lonsdale) whose main preoccupation is surreptitiously watching private matters -- he is a voyeur. He and an equally disreputable acquaintance rape a woman alongside the Seine, a crime made all the worse because she is pregnant. The rest of this slow-paced film deals with the consequences of that action.

After a number of false starts and aborted attempts, i finally managed to not only finish but come to rather like what might be Ruiz's murkiest film (in more than one sense). Obviously the video quality doesn't help much in this respect, but this is also the closest Ruiz gets to "dark", which is to say it's typically absurdist nonsense involving a pair of theory-spouting, um, hypnotist/rapists (go figure?). So, yeah, typical '80s work basically, but maybe Ruiz's homage to Ulmer's The Black Cat?
