Born in Puerto Montt in 1941 and active in the Chilean cinema of the late 1960s, Raúl Ruiz left for France after the 1973 coup and made more than a hundred films, notable for their labyrinthine narratives and dreamlike invention. Three Sad Tigers (1968) shared the Golden Leopard at Locarno. His French period includes Three Crowns of the Sailor (1982), Genealogies of a Crime (1997), Time Regained (1999) and Mysteries of Lisbon (2010). He died in 2011.
