Audience Member Sea of narratives, wrecked, sailing again--Wellesian noir meets Ruizian surrealism!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A sailor promises a student who has murdered his teacher a chance to sail away on a ship, but first he tells the story of his bizarre adventures sailing the seas on the cursed boat. Literary surrealism, a mixture of nonsense and mind games, with a sense of humor as dry and black as gunpowder. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Improvisatory dementia of a sailor. The pirate syndrome from the unparalleled perspective of Ruiz is life itself with its varied misadventures. A bizarre tone cannot be absent as we are sent deep into the confusing realm of a lost mind. The counterpart of the character is an interesting approach: the intellectual student. What remains is a cataclysmic explosion of surreal catharsis scattered all over the place, with the darkest humor available. I don't know if anybody else agrees, but knowing the Spanish language actually helps you to understand some hidden allegories. 99/100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A strange story about a mysterious ship and its mysterious crew and their mysterious destinations, artfully directed by Ruiz. I appreciated what was going on while also being a bit bored by it. The photography is unusual, especially some of the worm's-eye view stuff. And Jean-Bernard Guillard is a good actor with an intriguing presence. It just didn't wow me... perhaps a better print would have been more engaging. Still, the story is interesting and the narrative has a Resnais quality to it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member a marvelous ghost story in the style of magical realism, the film plays like an opium dream, hallucinatory and disorienting. perhaps a bit long and some of the acting seems stiff but the astonishingly imaginative visuals more than compensate. inspired by coleridge's rime of the ancient mariner, an immortal tale of the sea Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Short tales of ordinary madness or in our case,uncompromising anarchy.The interaction between two radicals (a student versus an experienced sailor) is but the premise of a psychological duel beyond the dreamland and into the web de mort.What we're witnessing is a journey to the unknown where the finale is more than a catharsis!
