Filmes

Voyage of a Hand
Book
In Voyage of a Hand, Ruiz constructs another of his concentric labyrinths that hits us right in the multifaceted center of our confusion. We might decide that what we receive was a story full of intentions; or we might decide that it was a spineless joke empty of sense or direction. In any case, it will be difficult to deny the acid sense of humor that animates the film.
The Duchess of Avila
Novel
An epic six-hour adaptation of Potocki's The Manuscript Found in Saragossa. Most famously filmed by Wojciech Has, this four part adaptation has the advantage of a vastly expanded running time, allowing for more of the novel to be incorporated >> shot on film, it was clearly a very expensive production and is equally spectacular in its own way.
O Manuscrito de Saragoça
Novel
Nos últimos anos da inquisição espanhola um oficial das tropas napoleônicas é submetido a um teste moral por duas sedutoras princesas mulçumanas, irmãs incestuosas da Tunísia.
