Comedy of Innocence (2000)

A beautiful film of Chielan director Raul Ruiz

[8/10 · 30 January 2006]

A beautiful film of Chilean director Raul Ruiz; which transports to us through the peculiar world of the Camille young person. It is a new birth as it says well, nine years is serious thing: like all birthday. The glance of Camille is surrealist, is happened to him that her mother no longer is so, but so single a name (Ariane). And with her, it is directed in adventures in search of his mother, who the delay in a place very far. This is the real adventure that my proposes to us - to seem Raoul Ruiz, everything is not imagination neither surrealism, the Camille young person does not try fantasies nor whims as all adult tries to include/understand. Then or it is included/understood or it is not taken care of..., but what it is what happens when the no-reality is approached to us, and falls finally in our same refuges? Different perspective. A very safe one, the one of Camille... its tapes shows the world that sees us... from there down, where the chairs are castles... and the smoke ghosts... On the other hand, the drama... that always remembers thanks to us to the guessed right sound track, the mother who loses her son: and what is worse, it is not kidnapping. one goes away because it must go away more above... and, will really be his mother? The summary appears to us during the film, both faces turn and they appear before the judgment of Salomón... the watching doubt...: to whom to believe? who decides? The negative: The robust step of the fantasy to the reality... the alive explanation of a tragic picture... But really, cinema of which it is possible to be seen more of twice...
