Klossowski, an eternal detour... Essay on Raoul Ruiz’s Film The Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting

Summary/Abstract: This text aims to develop an analysis of comparative narratology which has as its object of reflection the film by Raoul Ruiz L’hypothèse du tableau volé (1978). Our examination therefore starts from focusing on some central themes of Klossowski’s thought and writing to then see how these conceptual cores are reread and reproposed by the Chilean director. In particular, through the reflections that Foucault, Blanchot and others dedicate to the narrative production of the author of Le Baphomet, we identify two great theoretical points – Simulacra and Theatrical – that allow us to clarify many aspects of Klossowski’s mental universe and that Raoul Ruiz uses in the course of his film. In this way we will be able to see, for example, how Ruiz applies the notion of theatrical on a complex system of figures and themes that over the course of the film gradually become the elements of a meta-narrative, which aims to undermine the logic of plot articulation.
