This epic retelling of the novel by Camilo Castelo Branco has been widely hailed as the highpoint of Raúl Ruiz' career.
MYSTERIES OF LISBON thrusts us into a veritable whirlwind of escapades, coincidences, revelations, violent passions and love affairs, all wrapped up in a rhapsodic voyage that takes us from Portugal to France, Italy, and as far as Brazil. In this Lisbon of intrigue and hidden identities, we encounter a series of characters all somewhat linked to the destiny of Pedro da Silva, an orphan in a boarding school. Winner of the 'Louis-De Luc' award for best French film.
