He's Raul Ruiz, a Chilean filmmaker that was born in 1941 in Puerto Montt and died in 2011 in Paris. After the military coup in 1973 he moved to France because of his political ideology, leaving a finished but inedited film called Palomita Blanca, that was only released in 1992 when the dictatorship was already over.
He directed a lot of films (over 100) and was best known for his experimental, surrealistic and oniric style.
Ruiz wrote a book called “Poetics of Cinema” (1995-2007) in which explain his own theories to several factors of the filming art, like the possibility of deviation from the main plot structure, the execution of his poetic quality or the realization of a shamanic cinema. All the ideas he wrote about are portrayed in his films.
One of my favorite piece of work from Raul Ruiz is a short video that was made in a cinema workshop in his lasts years, it’s called “Epistolar” and you can find it on youtube.

Even after dead Raul Ruiz still released movies. La telenovela errante (1990-2017) and El tango del viudo y su espejo deformante (1967-2020) are unfinished films that his wife Valeria Sarmiento, also a Chilean filmmaker, re-made mixing old and new material.

Some of his most famous films are:
-Tres tristes tigres (1967)
-Dialogue d’exilés (1974)
-Les Trois couronnes du matelot (1983)
-Le temps retrouvé (1999)
-Días de campo (2004)
