A beautiful, sensous ode to love, life and Lisbon.
Cinematic heaven.
Come to it with an open mind, and you might well see one of the best films of the year.
Gorgeous to behold, graced by a lovely fado score, this is exquisite cinema.
A solemn, portentous affair, dramatically, verbally and visually, where everyone talks in an uninflected manner.
Despite the distancing preciousness, there are compensations in the beautiful Lisbon vistas, fado music and unexpectedly moving resolution.
Epiphanies duly follow. As does boredom.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
