The films of Raul Ruiz are full of weird "'out of the blue"' events that

Consider the brief close-up appearance of the cockatoo around the last
third of Citizen Kane. Cut to bird, loud bird shriek on soundtrack, then
back to the story. Welles' purpose in this odd cutaway was to wake up the
audience, exactly as Tom Whiteside describes with his experience. ("It ha

Hi Ittai,
Yours is an interesting pursuit! Much luck to you in your study. Your
thoughts reminded me of an interview I heard with David Lynch (forgive me,
I cannot remember where) where he spoke about the "eye of the duck" as
