Three Crowns of the Sailor
(, ) · A swirling poetic vision, Raúl Ruiz's baroque and kaleidoscopic picture follows a student fleeing the murder of his teacher. Encountering a drunken sailor in a dance hall, the student is offered an opportunity to escape on the sailor's ship on the condition that he pay three danish crowns and listen to the mariner's life story. Passing from port to port in an endless purgatory as the only member of his vessel, the sailor's tall tales descend into a surreal fantasy of far off and exotic lands. Mesmerizing and entrancing, Three Crowns of The Sailor is a labyrinth of dream logic and imagination. Film Print courtesy of Institut Français. This rare screening was made possible thanks to the Cultural Services of the French Embassy.
