A sailor promises a job to a fresh faced student who just murdered his employer for no good reason & needs to escape. All he wants in return: three Dutch crowns & have his story listened to. #RaulRuiz's take on Ship of the Dead is a nasty riddle. Episodic stories within stories never pan out. They go around in circles then change directions at a moment's notice. His typical visual style- wide angle, no depth of field trickery adds to our confusion & its dreamlike imagery. #threecrownsofthesailor
