Legend has it that director Raoul Ruiz once asked Marcello Mastroianni, which role he would like to play, and the actor responded – a professor, a tramp and a servant. But the film "Three Lives and Only One Death" is not that simple as the initial impression of three separate stories disappears when the previous story characters randomly start to appear in the next story. Raoul Ruiz with distinguishing ease merges the stories and Marcello Mastroianni in his penultimate role performs magnificently.

Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room...until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large--Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)--and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder--a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by one Professor Moriarty.
