Movie Reviews of Three Crowns of the Sailor
Movie Review: Three Danish crowns, this is the prize, nor more nor less!
Summary: 5 Stars
Three crowns for a sailor is a dense, complex and multidimensional movie, due its poetic feature. It's besides, a mesmerizing voyage into the labyrinths of the memory, where livings, faces, facts, actions, personages fill the screen with a ceaseless and disturbing presence.
In the middle of a foggy night, a sailor meets a young student who recently murdered a man, that's why the loneliness and the guilty will shake hands, and just for the prize of three Danish crowns, this sailor will tell him his entire life. Evocation, despair, sharp reflections about the art, the life and the human condition will be part of this voyage around the world, where this nomade existence of sailor is carved in relief.
The tango is also, a silent actor with its brief cameos in crucial dialogues hovered by that dark could of nostalgy, hopeless and desperation. A ticket to get a chance to be in this ship, whose members are true phantoms, hungry to know the livings of this man.
But remember; if you want to be in that ship, you will have to kill a man, in order to deserve your right to be there.
A dense but memorable film, a glorious masterpiece in all the sense of the word.
Summary of Three Crowns of the Sailor
Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Raul Ruiz (TIME REGAINED, COMEDY OF INNOCENCE) offers up this innovative, multilayered drama that slides provocatively between reality and fantasy. On a dark, foggy night, a student meets a sailor who agrees to tell the young man the story of his life for three Danish crowns. The sailor's adventures from continent to continent are extraordinary, because he sails aboard a cursed ship with a ghostly crew. The threads of the story overlap and interweave as the sailor takes the student on a fantastic voyage with exotic characters through strange landscapes.Art House & International DVD Video
