Poetics of Cinema 2

Raoul Ruiz - Poetics of Cinema 2
Following his research in Poetics of cinema, 1 on new narrative models as tools for apprehending a fast-shifting world, Raoul Ruiz with Poetics of cinema 2 makes an appeal for an entirely new way of filming, writing, and of conceiving the image.
“Eleven years separate these lines from the first part of my Poetics of Cinema. Meanwhile the world has changed and cinema with it. Poetics of Cinema, 1 had much of a call to arms about it. What I write today is rather more of a consolatio philosophica. However, let no one be mistaken about this, a healthy pessimism may be better than a suicidal optimism.”
