Raoul Ruiz – Richard III (1986)

Raoul Ruiz’s rare version of Shakespeare’s “Richard III”.
Richard of Gloucester uses murder and manipulation to claim England’s throne.

“My mise-en-scène focused on the object: it’s about King Richard III and his vertiginous power. More than on a character, I was focusing on a mechanism: the play of power — with a bias, this time approaching caricature — I wanted to develop all of the parodic forms surrounding the representation of power. The result is somewhat akin to Ubu roi.

The shooting script was faithful to Shakespeare’s work: the king, his temper tantrums, the speeches, the intrigues. I have reinforced all of this with visual representations, alluding to the sort of play of power that one may recognize, guess at, or suss out very easily. For example, the painted canvases draped over the natural decor… that’s an allusion to the Potemkin villages — those infamous towns, erected by the architect Potemkin, the buildings of which were only facades behind which there wasn’t anything. ” – Raoul Ruiz
