Acclaimed writer, Jorge Luis Borges, discusses his life, his work and his influences.
The film consists of interviews in English with Borges, as well as short dramatizations in Spanish of several of his stories. There are no subtitles, but the dialogue in the dramatizations is fairly sparse.
Dramatizations include:
Funes the Memorious
The Circular Ruins
The South
Death and the Compass
The Encounter

《文稿拾零》收录了博尔赫斯担任布宜诺斯艾利斯《家庭》杂志“外国书籍和作者”栏目主编时所写的短文二百余篇，内容涉及作家生平、创作、作品评论和新闻性的“文学生活”。这些“豆腐块”式的文字从梦魇、隐喻、时间谈到《神曲》的修辞意图、侦探小说的叙事法则，从莎士比亚、卡夫卡谈到曹雪芹、紫式部，是读书笔记和作家札记辑录。博尔赫斯相信许多“二三流”作家的作品乃或街谈巷议中都可能有着堪与经典媲美的东西。
