Raúl Ruiz

Highest Rated: 100% The Wandering Soap Opera (2017)

Lowest Rated: 13% A Closed Book (2009)

Birthday: Jul 25, 1941

Birthplace: Puerto Montt, Chile

Rising to international prominence in the early 1980s, Raul Ruiz proved one of the most exciting and innovative foreign filmmakers, providing more intellectual fun and artistic experimentation, shot for shot, than any filmmaker since Jean-Luc Godard. Slashing his way through celluloid with machete-sharp sounds and images, Ruiz was a guerrilla who uncompromisingly assaulted the preconceptions of film art. This frightfully prolific figure - he made over 50 films in 20 years - did not adhere to any one style of filmmaking. He worked in 35mm, 16mm and video for theatrical release and for European TV, and on documentary and fiction features.
