The turning and twisting narrative of this four-and-a-half-hour film stretches through three generations and as many countries, all controlled by Ruiz&#8217;s flowing digital camerawork.

Suddenly, he spotted and waved to a distant guy; they approached each other, warmly embraced, briefly chatted and parted ways in the throng. Who was he (I asked), an actor, a producer from one of his films? No: \u201cHe projected my films here in Rotterdam twenty years ago\u201d. For Ra\u00fal, a good projectionist was just as important, just as valuable as anyone who contributed to his work, no less than a Malkovich or a Deneuve, a Jorge Arriagada (composer) or a Sacha Vierney (cinematographer). What a memory he had \u2013 and what a profoundly ethical sense, right where it most matters, in everyday life, and in the lived history of that everyday.
