Rauacute;l Ruiz; while considered one of the worlds most significant filmmakers by several film critics; is yet to be the subject of any thorough engagement with his work in English. This volume sets out on this task by mapping; as fully as possible; Ruizs cinematic trajectory across more than five decades of prolific work; up to his death in 2011; ranging from his earliest work in Chile to high-budget European costume dramas culminating in Mysteries of Lisbon (2010). It does so by treating Ruizs work -- with its surrealist; magic realist; popular cultural; and neo-Baroque sources -- as a type of impossible cinematic cartography; mapping real; imaginary; and virtual spaces; and crossing between different cultural contexts; aesthetic strategies; and technical media. It argues that across the different phases of Ruizs work identified; there are key continuities such as the invention of singular cinematic images and the interrogation of their possible and impossible combinations.
