The World's Oldest Living Director


Amazing! At the ripe old age of 100, he has yet another film in the works!

Makes most of the rest of us look like slackers!

euronews: Manoel de Oliveira, over the last two decades you have made at least one film per year. What keeps you going?

De Oliveira: There is no secret – it is work! It is doing something, it is a natural impulsion. My life is so complicated – I need space around me, I have so much going on and my house is small, and I need breathing space. I cannot seem to sort it out. I cannot either stretch time, or enlarge the house. That would take up precious time which I cannot afford.
