Leave your thoughts about Night Across the Street.
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghElegiac, witty and deeply reflective, "Night Across the Street" strikes a mature and complex tone. |
| Screen InternationalJonathan RomneyPlayful and wildly imaginative to the last, this film shows Ruiz going out dreaming, and laughing. |
| MUBIDaniel KasmanThe film itself is quintessential Ruiz, and it will be, and I suppose must be said, a thematically "appropriate" final film... |
| User ReviewPhantasm GA final masterwork from one of the great filmmakers of all time. |
| User ReviewWalter MThis film was not made for the casual or mainstream movie-goer. Surrealist director Raul Ruiz pays homage to several classic films while trying to find his own place in the history of film-making. It's fun to watch but doesn't make much sense unless you have lots of film background (or like surrealist films). |
| User ReviewGreg SAn old man recalls his childhood, when he used to carry on conversations with Long John Silver and Ludwig van Beethoven, as he waits in his boarding home for the man who will kill him to arrive. This defiantly absurd meditation on death gains contextual poignancy due to the fact that writer/director Raul Ruiz was gravely ill while making it and died before it could be released. |
