Borges: A Life in Poetry

Borges: A Life in Poetry (1998) is a documentary film directed by Fernando Arrabal.

A peculiar portrait of the Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) drawn by the extravagant and original look of the Spanish writer Fernando Arrabal, who establishes a bold parallelism between Borges' work and opinions and his own creations, both literary and cinematographic.
