Oliveira, who is now over a hundred years old, makes this film from a short story of 19th-century writer Eça de Queiroz. An average sixty-minute adaptation that brings to mind some of Luis Buñuel's surreal style.
Though Loos downplayed her talent, later mock-sulking that her "infantile cruelty" kept her from being a "real novelist," the superficial Blonde she begat is profound. Full Review
Even at a pleasant 64 minutes, it savors classical beauties, reaches tremendous depths and comes in with a satisfying bite. Full Review
Labored romance, mainly notable for the lovely scenes showing Lisbon music, poetry and culture history. Full Review
... a perfectly executed short story, slight yet delightfully told with minimalist direction and imagery and a very European sensibility. Full Review
A mesmerizing, charming and disturbing morality tale of doomed love. Full Review
A curious, elliptical little film about people cocooned in their own romantic notions: at barely over an hour, the lethargic pace is easy to live with. Full Review
This is not one of Oliveira's most memorable works but it still provides a lesson in unobtrusive but pointed film-making. Full Review
Contrasting elegant surfaces and heartfelt feelings, it's an enigmatic gem -- and at 64 mins, truly succinct. Full Review
A stately tale that is more of a curiosity than anything else. Full Review
