THE LIBRARY LOVER: ROUGE ON RUIZ

As detailed at their website, the second issue of the online magazine Rouge devotedly compiled an annotated filmography of the directorial work of Raúl Ruiz, as part of a series of tributes to Ruiz organized by Rouge and the International Film Festival Rotterdam to coincide with their program, "Raúl Ruiz: An Eternal Wanderer" (January 21-February 1, 2004), including the book Raúl Ruiz: Images of Passage (Rouge Press) and the IFFR 2004 catalogue which contains short entries on films screened at the retrospective.
