Ditto. And for the "not for everyone" snobs, you are in a small, small group. If I didn't know differently, I'd think this movie is merely a sublime joke played on you by a 100-year-old man.
shareThe film is sublime, that much is certain.

It is genuine, raw, pure and intimate.
I absolutely felt I was watching the characters from 2feet away.
It was not surprisingly awesome (since we all know his work) but it definitely did not disappoint me in any way.

The mind comes to peaceful rest as the eye and heart partake of a blissful treasure trove of elaborate and ornate metropolitesse, vistas, architecture, antiquarian interiours, paintings, sculpture, music, poetry, drama, desire, memory, nostalghia, loss. From what I've watched of Oliveira's films so far, his camerawork and photography and pacing and fascination with geometrical structure are fabulistically orphic, in his films time is elusive, time hides, time vanishes, time regains. The credits roll and I'm upset because I'm kicked back into the present tense, current reality, time running out. Remedy? Another Oliveira film.

I too found the mise-en-scene terribly orphic in a soi-disant kind of way.
The ellipical structures clearly alluded to the anthropomorphic earlier works whilst retaining the piquancy of a future drifting between dreams and echoes.
I saw glimpses of Hoppers "Two Khasis"and the Roux leitmotif yet never forgot my D'Oliveran memories--as the withered fingers grasped mine -his Auden-like features crumpled and he let go an enormous snorter his face wreathed in a smiling death-mask his eyes revealing the total tortured confusion.
I was not impressed either. The storyline (especially the climax) was ridiculous or lacked depth in characterisation.

This is what I thought when I read the short story, so true to its time, the end of the XIX century. The movie is actually a decent one, but if I had to make a movie based on one of Eça's short stories, my choice would have been a different one.
Having read the short story first, I found this to be a rather nice movie.
