Love Torn in a Dream Love Torn in a Dream (French: Combat d'amour en songe) is a 2000 film directed by Raúl Ruiz. The film's narrative spans nine interweaving stories, most of which take place in the 17th or 18th centuries, which feature fantastical characters such as pirates, nuns, young priests, a cannibal, a sultana, the Devil, and many more. To further complicate the already dizzying web of tales, many different characters are played by the same handful of actors across stories. This theme of the same individual portraying numerous identities extends beyond the limits of this one film (as many of Ruiz's themes do) and can be viewed in the larger context of Ruiz's work: for instance, lead actor Melvil Poupad is someone who has been in several of Ruiz's films since his childhood. In 1983, at age ten he starred in Ruiz's City of Pirates and went on to act in The Insomniac on the Bridge, Treasure Island, Three Lives and Only One Death, and Genealogies of a Crime.
