Portugal
| 2014 | Pedro Costa
One of the film events of the year! The first feature in eight years from the director of Ossos, In Vanda’s Room, and Colossal Youth finds Portuguese auteur Pedro Costa returning to Fontainhas, the decrepit immigrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Lisbon that was the setting forhis previous movies. Ventura, the elderly émigré worker from Cape Verde who was the central figure in Colossal Youth, is also the star of this movie. He wanders down corridors and hallways, and through history—a kind of sleepwalker flanked by friends and phantoms from his own and Portugal’s tragic past. The result is a dreamy, hallucinatory tone poem that embraces the underclass, seduces the viewer, but safeguards its secrets. “Strange, hauntingly beautiful…Working about as far as possible from the commercial mainstream of the movie business, Costa has again made a singular docu-fiction hybrid that defies classification as readily as it reimagines the possibilities of cinema.”-Variety.
Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 103 min.
